Lester Melrose is sick of jolly old men, gumdrops, candy canes, elves, and a thousand other delights. He wants to bring the big sick world down to its knees and is out for a guy in a red suit who stands in his way.
Aiding him in this quest is a chain-smoking unicorn and a clutzy fire-breathing animatronic dragon. Good stuff.
This is The Theater of the Midnight Sun and the tale, “Goodbye Cruel World.”
Hat trick goes to listener Martin who originally turned me on to the ‘pod and to The Sonic Society who recently featured this same show.
