This December, Nantwich Players are thrilled to bring you The Flint Street Nativity, a comedy by Tim Firth.
Directed by Adam Goode, this playful production runs from Friday 6 December to Saturday 14 December, with evening performances starting at 7.45pm.
Step into the adorable chaos of a primary school nativity play, where adults hilariously portray children navigating rehearsals, friendships, forgotten lines, backstage squabbles, and stage fright.
Director, Adam Goode, told Nub News: "Welcome to The Flint Street Nativity, dedicated to the memory of Don Hirst, a much-loved member of Nantwich Players who passed away before he could direct this production.
"This warm, witty play is set in Mizzis Horrocks' class of seven-year-olds, about to perform their nativity for proud parents, and the occasional social worker.
"Squabbles arise as Gabriel wants to play Mary, Herod won't stop waving to his parents, and the subversive Innkeeper is determined to liven up the script. And then the stick insect escapes."
The cast is as follows:
- Innkeeper – Jonathan Brett
- Star – Jonathan Everitt
- Ass – Chris Fisher
- Narrator - Trevor Hough
- Herod/Joseph – Maximilian Clay
- Wise Frankincense – Charlie Gobbett
- Mary – Catherine Moore
- Wise Gold – Marianne Hill
- Angel – Carla Gonen
- Gabriel – Hope Brownhill
- Shepherd – Amber Edmondson
