Play :: From the writer of Calendar Girls comes Scotland's sparkling family Christmas comedy. Acclaimed writer Tim Firth (Calendar Girls, All Quiet On the Preston Front, Neville's Island) lifts the tea-towel of festive cheer to uncover a hotbed of complex inter-personal power politics also known as...the school Nativity! But this is a Nativity with a difference - the difference being that adults play the children! As the class gets ready they find themselves caught up in an hilarious, chaotic world of mishaps, misunderstandings, unrequited love, fluffed lines, fallings out, cardboard props, Christmas Carols and brazen upstagings.... The Corstorphine Road Nativity is a great family comedy but be warned... "you may never see your child's Nativity in the same light again"! (The Independent)
