A delicious dollop of Comedy gold, beautifully gift wrapped by Guildburys and ready for you to open.
REVIEW –
‘Marvellously observed, very very funny, but also full of very sad moments, this is a play I would very much like to see again, there was so much in it…… This production was a great team effort, finely directed by Gilly Fick…….great characters, loads of humour, but also very touching and thought-provoking.
Mrs Horrocks’ class of seven-year-olds is about to perform their nativity play at Flint Street Junior School for the proud mums and dads – and the occasional social worker.
It’s not easy. Emotions run high as Bradley, the psychotic classroom bully having a bad hair day, unsuccessfully tries to woo Jenny – Little Miss Perfect.
Into this explosive mix add she-devil Ashley as Gabriel (who really really wants to be Mary) playing power-politics.
The Angel, meanwhile, has her own problems with a set of wings which threatens to outshine Gabriel’s. The Star grumbles he’s not a proper star like they have at NASA, Herod won’t stop waving to his mum and dad, and the increasingly subversive Innkeeper is determined to liven up the traditional script.
And then the stick insect escapes…
