Craig Lucas critiques traditional productions of "A Christmas Carol," describing them as merely a comforting spectacle that allows audiences to avoid confronting Dickens' actual moral challenges.
In "A Whynot Christmas Carol," Lucas embraces introspection, stating, "Everybody seems to have a Scrooge living inside them," emphasizing personal reflection over distant narratives.
Lucas’ production maintains a humorous edge, showcasing the realities of a rehearsal environment, where chaos and character quirks shine through, such as a late cast member's speech impediment.
The set design for "Whynot" is described as a time-lapse of creativity, by David Zinn, illustrating the artistic challenge of constructing a play within a play.
