Audiences who need to augment their "it's behind you"s may wish to take themselves to Nativity in Creakebottom which is touring until 24 December.
Surrey–based Slingshot Theatre has devised a comic show for the festive season: with Shakespeare’s ‘Rude Mechanicals’ channelling medieval mystery plays, the play concerns an all–male Suffolk am dram group and their immaculate theatrical concept.
Nativity In Creakebottom is written by Christopher Dennis with music by Mark Dean and is directed by Andrew C Wadsworth.
The tour takes in theatres, arts houses, schools and churches in Surrey, Kent, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Cambridgeshire, Gloucestershire, Buckinghamshire and London with a charity performance on Christmas Eve at the Crisis at Christmas Skylight base.
Nativity in Creakebottom is suitable for those aged 10 and over.
