"There’s no treachery assassination, double-dealing, deceit, coercion or blackmail that you encounter later in life that you will not have been prepared for in the classroom."

Miss Horrocks' class of seven-year-olds is about to perform their nativity play at Flint Street Junior School for the proud mums and dads - and the occasional social worker.

This funny, nostalgic and poignant play, where the children are played by adults, is sure to delight and fill you with Christmas cheer.

Tim Firth, writer of Calendar Girls originally wrote The Flint Street Nativity as a TV comedy which aired during Christmas 1999. Like all good Nativity plays, the story is carried by a number of well-known Christmas hymns and carols – though some of the words are unconventional! (Be prepared to sing along.)
