Few words about the play below:

Prepare to be captivated by a heartwarming yet uproariously funny comedy directed by Theodoros Petropoulos. In this delightful play, two police officers find themselves facing an unexpected challenge on Christmas Eve. Their mission to deliver tragic news to an elderly couple clashes with the festive spirit of the day, leading to a series of comical misunderstandings and hilarious lies.

As the officers struggle with the burden of sharing devastating news, their well-meaning intentions pave the way for a cascade of humorous mishaps. Through a blend of tenderness and laughter, the play explores the complexities of human emotions, showcasing the absurdity of life's unexpected twists.

Join us for an unforgettable journey filled with laughter, tears, and heartwarming moments as we navigate the delicate balance between comedy and emotion in this charming production.
