SUMMARY

In The Eight: Reindeer Monologues, playwright Jeff Goode told a tale of scandal at the North Pole as one of Santa’s reindeer accused him of sexual harrassment. As mass media descended upon the event, the other members of the sleigh team demanded to share their perspective, and a horrific tale of corruption and perversion emerged. The long-awaited follow-up to The Eight: Reindeer Monologues: This time, it's Santa's turn, and Christmas will never, ever be the same. Scandal erupts at the North Pole when the most powerful man on Earth is sentenced to rehab for a minor traffic violation. But when he finds himself in a detox program run by the estranged Mrs. Claus, Santa's desperate struggle to conceal the truth about his arrest uncovers yet another sordid secret that could mean the end of Christmas-as-we-know-it.

From the author of “The Eight: Reindeer Monologues” comes this twisted Christmas tale. Santa Claus is in rehab following a drunken hit-and-run with the sleigh, and his seven personalities are duking it out for control of his mind. Mrs. Claus steps in as the facilitator of the rehab center, and she has her own candy cane to shove up his chimney.
