Miss Horrocks' class is putting on the Nativity… what could possibly go wrong? School nativity. Adult actors. Total chaos.

Miss Horrocks' class of 7yr olds is putting on their nativity play at Flint Street Junior School for a proud audience of mums, dads … and the occasional social worker. But backstage tensions soon bubble over into onstage chaos. Gabriel is determined to play Mary, the Star insists he should shine like one at NASA, Herod will not stop waving to his parents and the Innkeeper is rewriting the script.

Told entirely from the perspective of the children, all played by adults, The Flint Street Nativity is a laugh-out-loud, nostalgic, festive romp. In a touching final twist, the cast reappear as the children's parents, revealing the grown-up worlds behind the childhood drama.

With witty dialogue, original lyrics set to traditional carol tunes and bags of heart, this is a warm and wonderful alternative to the usual Christmas fare.

One school play you will never forget, mainly because your child is not in it.
