Secret Santa

(1-act, office comedy)

​

Don't you just love the holidays?

​

Tiffany is 19 and just finished college. She's all bright-eyed and bushing tailed, working at her new job, as a processing clerk. She's the newbie at Acme Movers & Shakers in Central London, a small door-to-door white van courier, and package delivery service company. She just started a few months before Christmas.  It's mid-morning a few hours before the "exchange." She has overheard other colleagues talking about their gift shopping and she's puzzled.  She draws Tom's name, a male colleague, that is desperately trying to chat her up (whom she's trying not to be interested in) a book as a Christmas present only to realise that at this office, they only give gag gifts as presents. She queries Grace (the colleague she shares a cubicle with) about what is really going on with, Secret Santa.
