Nativity

It’s December 1979 and class 2G are getting ready for the school Nativity. Gemma wants to be Mary but because she’s got a big loud voice she’s the narrator, and anyway Sarah her best friend is far loads prettier than her, everyone says so. And as for Kirsty- she doesn’t even get a look in, not that she cares, she’s bothered about showing her knickers in the practical area. And of course there can only be one choice for Joseph, and that’d have to be Tony, everyone’s favourite, complete with his thirteen colour biro. And Nicholas? In love with Sarah and dreams of flying through the milky way with her in the TARDIS? He’s always going to be the Innkeeper. Nativity is about the play we’ve all been in. About tea towels on heads and coconut-shell donkey hooves. Dinner ladies and toilet roll angels, reading books and Blue Peter. It’s about our six year old selves, the adults that shaped us, the dreams that lit our days- and the people we have become. The finest moment a critic can have at the Festival is to see a masterpiece from an unknown playwright. The Scotsman Type: Comedy Length: Full Length Cast: 2m, 3f
