The Players do Christmas
After four years of great success with performing war themed plays
each November to commemorate the centenary of WW1, Neston
Players are taking a rather different approach for winter 2019.
An 11 strong cast will perform the popular The Flint Street Nativity by Tim
Firth from Wednesday 4th
December 2019 – Saturday 7th December.
The director is Carole Goodwin, a face people may recognise from
treading the boards with Neston Players over the years in performances
such as: ‘A Walk Through Time’, ‘Enchanted April’, ‘The Odd Couple’ and last year’s ‘Delval
Divas’.”
The cast is as follows: Innkeeper - Ross Hawley; Mary - Jenny Dewhirst; Wise Gold - Pam
Button; Shepherd - Paula Condliffe-Hughes; Gabriel - Jenny Clement; Star of Bethlehem -
Gordon Wallis; Angel - Emma Griffiths; Narrator - Sarah McGinty; Herod/Joseph - Matthew
Harvey; Wise Frankincense - Callum New; Ass - Alan Binns.
The Flint Street Nativity focuses on Mrs Horrocks class as they prepare for their Christmas
Nativity, some are reluctant performers, others determined to be the star of the show.
Frankincense is worried about being sent to the special unit, Gabriel is desperate to be Mary
and Herod just wants to play Question of Sport. This ensemble piece acted by adults shows
the innocent fun, chaos and sheer exuberance of children let loose on the stage! When the
parents arrive we see just why some of the children behave as they do!
