Event Description
Comfort and Joy, a very contemporary Christmas comedy by the late West Coast playwright David King (best known for Garage Sale and Life Skills) makes its debut as the next Mercury Players production.
Free-thinking actress Joy is cajoled into attending Christmas dinner at the home of Ted and Marlie, a well-off Vancouver couple. Joy’s singer-barista son Mitch is hoping to date Gini, Ted’s daughter, whose wayward twin Poey doesn’t see eye-to-eye with image-conscious stepmom Marlie. As the evening progresses and the eggnog flows, cracks in relationships begin to fissure the faux-festive mood. Will peace and goodwill prevail? David King’s fast-paced script skewers social niceties with wonderful wit and hilarity.
