The Flint Street Nativity
7 Male, 5 Female
Tim Firth Price: $14.95
Mizzis 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
Squabbles arise when Gabriel wants to play Mary, 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 subversive Innkeeper is determined to liven up the traditional script
And then the stick insect escapes ...
The children are played by adults, who later play their parents so the set changes accordingly to reflect the difference in scale
This warm, witty, funny play is an ideal alternative to the usual Christmas fare with original lyrics set to the tunes of the usual Christmas carols
It was first performed to critical acclaim at the Liverpool Playhouse
Music is available separately On Hire
“Exposes what an ungodly snake pit of paediatric power-politics the staging of your average Nativity play can be ... There are moments when you may wet yourself laughing” ~ Alfred Hickling, The Guardian
