On Christmas Eve, bartenders Kat and Tom endure a night of bad music, difficult guests, and endless Pornstar Martinis. When a male guest harasses Kat, tensions rise and the two are forced to confront gender dynamics in hospitality and the impact on identity and relationships. As they question their roles and what they owe each other, they also reflect on how these experiences shape perceptions of self. When the bar finally closes, they must decide what they truly mean to each other. A new piece of writing from amateur company Theatre Co.
Why see this show?
A new two-hander set entirely on one chaotic Christmas Eve behind the bar. Honest about the realities of hospitality work and the gender dynamics that come with it — compact and emotionally frank.
