The Flint Street Nativity
Award-winning theatre company The Kelvin Players concludes its 90th year with the final show of the season.
Director Sue Stobbs brings an ideal alternative to the usual Christmas show with Tim Firth’s Flint Street Nativity, where the children are played by adults who later play their parents.
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. 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…
This warm and witty Christmas production is suitable for ages 12 plus.
