Chicago, IL – Hell in a Handbag Productions is proud to present one twisted take on two classic tales. Silent Night of the Lambs mixes one part thriller (The Silence of the Lambs) and one part holiday TV special (Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer) to create a twisted recipe that only Hell in a Handbag would dare to cook up for Chicago audiences.
Young FBI agent Clarice Starling (Samantha McDonald in her Handbag debut), daughter of the once-famous Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, is assigned to the case of a lifetime. She must help track down ‘The Skinner’ (Ed Jones*), a mysterious serial killer that removes the skins of his victims, be they animal or human. To get inside the mind of this killer Clarice must interrogate the North Pole’s most notorious psychopath, Kris Kringle, aka Santa Claus (Derek Czaplewski*). Santa’s bloody rampage a few years back nearly ruined Christmas forever. Clarice hopes this jolly madman, now housed in an asylum for the criminally insane, holds the key to stopping ‘The Skinner.’ Can she get into Santa’s head before he gets into hers? Will Clarice’s demons catch up with her before she catches up with The Skinner? Will those damn lambs ever shut-up?
Join Hell in a Handbag in a dark trip to the North Pole where things are more naughty then nice and the snow has the scarlet tint of blood in a demented tale straight from the mind of Ryan Landry of the Gold Dust Orphans in Boston, MA.
Silent Night of the Lambs also features David Cerda* as the tough talking Lt. Betty Blitzen, Elizabeth Lesinski (HAYWIRE!) , Jefrey Wilkerson (HAYWIRE!), Anthony DiNicola, Sarah Pitárd, Ashleigh Ross (Marked Down Woman) and Ted Evans playing a variety of unforgettable characters.
Don’t miss this limited run of Silent Night of the Lambs directed by Will Rogers (Victory Gardens) for a limited run by the theater company that ‘represents the gold standard in Chicago camp’- Chicago Reader.
