Our Christmas play this year was called Stable Manners. It told the story of Mary and Joseph’s journey and the birth of Jesus. It also told the tale of some of the animals who belonged to the innkeeper. We met the hens Lottie and Louise; sheep, Cecil and Sid and pony Bertie who couldn’t agree on who was to get the recently departed Neddy’s stall. Angels Gabriel and Luke were overseeing the whole occasion and there was fun with robbers Grabber and Snatcher, a frustrated policeman, the innkeeper and his right hand man, Sonny, and two narrators as well as Nativity regulars, the shepherds, the angels, the 3 kings, their camels, and a star. It was a great show and the children really enjoyed taking part.
