The program bills the raunchy comedy as "Let's Kill Grandma This Christmas: The Other F**king Christmas Story," so that should give theatergoers a solid clue what to expect.
The off-Broadway comedy, which opened Monday night at Theatre at St. Clements and runs through Jan. 6, is suggested for no one under 13. I'd suggest older, at least 16.
