The Flint Street Nativity | 1st – 6th December 2014
The seasonal comedy drama: The Flint Street Nativity by Tim Firth, directed by Pieter Swinge.
Miss Horrocks’ class of seven year-olds are preparing for their school nativity play, but in the classroom because the school hall hasn’t been finished as the builders discovered an endangered species of great crested newt.
The children run wild, with fights over whose dolly should play Jesus, who is the best Mary, and what stars are really made of. The classroom antics backstage at Flint Street Primary School are awash with jealousies, teasing, blackmail, unrequited love and, of course, Christmas carols as only children know how. All the children are played by adult actors who, later on, turn into their parents.
