23 Degrees 5 Minutes By Austin Kenny A festive full-tilt comedy in costume.. Christmas is a time for the old-fashioned instead of the new-fangled, and what could be more old-fashioned than a Victorian varsity venue where a mystical mathematician is toiling away at a grand equation that will explain Absolutely Everything? In the course of his calculations he may even morph into a figure familiar from certain fizzy drinks and papal fashions; but the clues to this Claus are in kindness and not in costume. Robert O’Mahoney and Michael James Ford play two professors on the trail of truth - which leads, not to the head, but to the heart of things. Austin Kenny’s story is set to flourish as a future Christmas favourite.
