Peace and Goodwill cover

It's that time of year again, and Mrs Gusset is holding auditions for the nativity play. She doesn't have an awful lot of talent to choose from but she's sure it will be all right on the night.

But things don't always go to plan...


No one wants to sing Little Donkey.

And Mrs Needle is determined to get 'her Chelsea' a better part than first sheep.

And Mr Willow, the Head, doesn't want any parents upsetting.

Meanwhile 'Herod' thinks he should play his part with a French accent.

Your audience will have a hand in deciding how it all works out.

Culminating with the class's performance of their Nativity, this comedy will definitely put your audience in the Christmas spirit.

With music this show runs at about 60 minutes and is suitable for children aged from 9 to 14.
