The Flint Street Nativity
by Tim Firth
Fri 6 – Sat 14 December 2013 at 7.45pm (not Sunday 8)
Directed by Nikki Packham
This wonderful Christmas entertainment opens with Mrs Horrocks’ class of 7 year olds preparing to perform their version of the Nativity. The children are all played by adults, who then play their parents and this brilliant concept makes the hilarious comments and antics of the “children” bear a striking resemblance to the behaviour of their adult counterparts! With all the seriousness of children, some of whom are fussy, some snide, some frightening, some downright evil, they play out the business of learning lines and carols in front of the teacher who is never seen, only heard. There is humour and pathos in this Christmas journey, so be prepared to laugh a lot and cry a little
If you don’t come and see it, Mr Tim Firth, Mrs Nikki Packham and Mrs Horrocks will be very, very upset!
