4 F / 3 M What does one do when one’s house is invaded by a simpleton, who hands out Christmas cards while shouting abusive threats and on top of that when a family member has taken the liberty to invite a homeless man to join in on the Christmas Eve celebration? Also, what may happen when one attempts to break out of social limitations and try to help other people by showing mercy and compassion, though only to withdraw in the end? THE THICKNESS OF SKIN is a most complex play about the relation between the welfare society and its losers.
