BEETHOVEN IN BRUNSWICK
A CHRISTMAS TAIL
by Joe Simonelli
The heart warming story of a mystical cat, a little girl, and some holiday magic that occurs in a small butcher shop one Christmas Eve. When struggling butcher Ralph Minetti has nothing left to believe in, a little girl comes into his shop on Park Ave. in New YorK City to visit the bow tie wearing store cat, Gus. But Gus is no ordinary feline, for as Ralph tells little Amanda, every Christmas Eve, Gus starts to talk. But will the magic be enough of an epiphany to change a bitter, disillusioned, middle aged grocer who hasn't seen his own estranged teen-aged daughter for five years and who owes money to both his suppliers and the mob?
WHAT THE CRITICS SAID: "One of Simonelli's best works. A theatre experience not to be missed. Destined to become a holiday classic!"
