Mrs Horrocks’ class of seven year olds is in the final stages of preparing the annual Nativity Play at Flint Street primary school. As with all young children, rivalries and friendships come to the fore. Two girls compete to secure the envied role of Mary, Herod won’t stop waving to his Mum and Dad, while a nervous Star of Bethlehem is desperate to prove that he is as brave as the surly Innkeeper...and then the stick insect escapes! Tim Firth (Calendar Girls) plays with all the familiar seasonal tropes to provide a unique insight into the minds of children through the behaviour of grown-ups. Warning: The play contains adult themes and some playground language that may amuse and possibly offend teachers & parents.

Tickets available below, from venue box offices and on the door.
