No Room at the Flat: A DLA Christmas Story

The greatest story ever told… by the worst people imaginable.On Christmas Eve in Belfast, hapless John ‘Horse’ McCracken and his fed-up girlfriend Suzie discover a newborn abandoned on their doorstep and gradually convince themselves the child is the Second Coming of Christ, transforming their council flat into a chaotic nativity scene while dreaming of the fame, glory, and perks that come with becoming the accidental parents of the Messiah.No Room at the Flat is a fast-paced two-hander local Christmas comedy set over one increasingly unhinged night in a crumbling Belfast flat.

Horse and Susie are preparing for a bleak festive evening of cheap drink, petty arguments, and avoiding their families when a baby in a Moses basket appears outside their door with no explanation.

Reluctantly bringing it inside 'just until someone comes to claim it’, they quickly find themselves overwhelmed by the situation.

But as the night wears on and exhaustion, booze, and Christmas hysteria begin to blur together, the pair become convinced the baby may actually be the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Suddenly every flickering light feels divine, every neighbour sounds prophetic, and every knock at the door could be a threat from ‘Herod' — otherwise known as Social Services.
