    About this ebook

    This short play presents the story of a wishing box made by an absent-minded inventor. The wishing box holds power to transform a person into somebody else by stepping into it. But gradually, things turn chaotic after the inventor introduces the box to the world. What happens next unfolds later in this exciting play. This two-act Christmas play is full of witty dialogues, intriguing characters, and a gripping plot. It doesn't require any expensive costumes or sets, making it perfect to be performed at small gatherings and school functions.
