Wicked Christmas stories
Once again, we have saved the best for last – and end the year with a selection of wonderfully wicked Christmas stories. Whether Travnicek's Weihnachtseinkäufe ('Travnicek's Christmas shopping') by Helmut Qualtinger or John Updike's The Twelve Terrors of Christmas – in a sharp-tongued and sometimes utterly hilarious way, the authors tell stories of people getting ready for Christmas, of weird presents and recalcitrant relatives, of crazy consumerism and ruined rituals.
With these stories by great authors, the actor, cartoonist and passionate sailor Boris Aljinovic takes an ironic look at the flip side of Christmas, always with a twinkle in his eye, and shines a light on the many funny, but also the more bizarre, aspects of the season of peace and goodwill – look forward to an evening full of unexpected turns with wicked, but incredibly entertaining stories.
