Red Hot Australian Christmas is a darkly funny 45 minute radio play set during last year’s devastating bushfire season. It’s the story of Heather, a matriarch trying her best to ignore the fires and host Christmas for her extended family. She stays strong even as the mercury rises and smoke starts to engulf her homestead in Maffra, Gippsland, until a code red is called, and all are forced to evacuate. 

The play was written and directed by comedian and author Tegan Higginbotham. The radio play is semi-biographical, and appears in the feed of Paul Verhoeven's Loose Units
