It’s Christmas, and a year has passed since the untimely death of Janice’s father (while placing the star atop the tree). Struggling to cope, Janice is holding spiteful conversations with her dolls, and Mother is suffering from panic attacks, with only her baking skills to keep her busy. In their deteriorating Apartment that incessantly begs for repairs, their only comforts are visitations from their respective celebrity crushes – Justin Timberlake and Harrison Ford. With the support of Justin’s affection, Janice begins to craft a plan that will mend the chasm in their lives. Meanwhile, the Apartment is developing murderous plans of its own… Oh yes, the Apartment just happens to be telling this story! This is a holiday-season show unlike any you’ve seen before.
“There are flashes of magnificence and a comedic surrealism reminiscent of Martin McDonagh… the cast, directed by Don Keith, does a solid job… the open-minded theatregoer will find something to enjoy here.” Times Colonist
“He [Matthew Connelly] does a great job… Wendy Cornock, as Mother, and Fiona Wright-Jones, as her depressed 11-year-old daughter, Janice, do an excellent job… Versatile Jon Hunwick is a scene stealer…beautiful poetic narratives..make this more than a simple tale of grief… this Don Keith-directed play is worth seeing.” Monday Magazine
“To my surprise… my eyes were filling up with tears—I just couldn’t stop laughing… Callaghan’s play will grab your attention… Crumble (Lay Me Down Justin Timberlake) will..have you laughing your way home.” Nexus
