At last – a Christmas comedy that takes you behind the teatowel

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The shepherds tie teatowels
Around their sweet heads

King Herod and a wise man
Both have got chickenpox
And the Donkey’s stick insect
Has escaped from his box

The Innkeeper is lovestruck
So he wants Joseph dead
While an angel is plotting
To be Mary instead

The sensitive narrator
Has his lines off by heart
The recorders are squawking
And we’re ready to start

Come join us this Christmas
For a true festive treat
Of the world’s greatest story
From the kids of Flint Street

Tim Firth is the acclaimed writer of All Quiet on the Preston Front and Calendar Girls. Adapted from his own television play The Flint Street Nativity is a family comedy for any child who’s ever been in a nativity – or any adult who’s watched one through their fingers.
