That Christmas

Representation / casting choices

Visible emphasis on diverse ethnicities and mixed families in a small English seaside town.

Political / ideological dialogue

Characters deliver explicit lines promoting climate change, vegetarianism, and multi-culturalism as superior to traditional Christmas.

Identity-driven story themes

Subplot centers on rewriting Christmas traditions through diversity, inclusivity, and gender role swaps in the play.

Institutional / cultural critique

Traditional Christian nativity is mocked as outdated and boring, replaced with progressive activist elements including climate sermons and abortion-referencing lyrics.
