For those already weary of the deluge of saccharine holiday productions, the Santa Fe Playhouse presents an acidic alternative.

Penned by Scottish playwright Anthony Neilson, the adult holiday comedy 鈥淭he Night Before Christmas鈥� opens in a London warehouse where two men deal questionable merchandise.

Set in a world of petty criminals, where every child鈥檚 toy has apparently fallen off a truck, this Christmas takes the form of a suspicious-looking white powder.

It鈥檚 a frenetic 70 minutes of expletive-laden, lewd, absurdist dark comedy.

The play opens on Thursday, Nov. 30, running through Dec. 23.

鈥淚t鈥檚 an adult comedy show, meaning it鈥檚 cheeky, it鈥檚 fun, it鈥檚 bawdy,鈥� said director Emily Rankin. 鈥淚t鈥檚 about the way the Christmas spirit changes as we get older, what Christmas was like when we were kids and what it鈥檚 like as we are adults.鈥�

Amiable buffoon Gary apprehends an elf breaking into the warehouse. He debates with his friend Simon whether to call the police.

Gary ties up the elf with fairy lights while he and Simon debate his fate.

Simon thinks the elf is simply a thieving druggie opportunist, festively dressed up and with a good line in spinning tales. Their captive protests that he鈥檚 not a thief but represents an 鈥渋nternational gift distribution agency鈥� and has merely slipped off his sleigh.

The discussion curdles with the arrival of Cherry, a straight-talking sex worker whose son is due a set of Power Rangers as payment for services she鈥檚 performed for Gary.

鈥淣ot to give too much away, we find out the Christmas spirit is an addictive substance,鈥� Rankin said.

In the process, the characters expose their own misgivings over the true spirit of Christmas.

First produced in 1995, 鈥淭he Night Before Christmas鈥� has been brought up-to-date with a smattering of current(ish) pop-culture references (Simon Cowell and Power Rangers?).

The play offers more questions than it provides answers.

鈥淚s the Christmas spirit something that can be recaptured or is it only for kids?鈥� Rankin asked. 鈥淚t examines the harsher side of Christmas.鈥�

Gary has been through a divorce and wonders if he will see his child over the holidays. The elf insists that if Gary and the embittered Simon don鈥檛 let him go, he鈥檒l die and Christmas will have to be cancelled.

鈥淟ife isn鈥檛 always what you expect it to be,鈥� Rankin said. 鈥淭here are a lot of hurts that pile up. Christmas can be a painful time.鈥�
