The seven-year-old pupils of Flint Street Primary School, all played by adults, perform the nativity play for their parents. The story is based on real events, collected over a period of ten years from members of Tim Firth’s family and friends who were teachers.
“Exposes what an ungodly snake pit of paediatric power-politics the staging of your average Nativity play can be… There are moments when you may wet yourself laughing.”
