| Global Wetting by Nicholas Richards |
| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 3. Minimum Female roles = 1. Minimum total with doubling = 4. Minimum total without doubling = 4. No chorus. A mother and her three sons. The location of the piece is part of the joke, and the names of the protagonists make it obvious, however they can easily be withheld from the audience. |
| Run Time | Around 5 minutes. [Estimated!] |
| Music | None. |
| Style | Short comedy sketch based on a familiar story, though, in this case, not told with any particular moral. No set required. |
| Synopsis | Tempers are running high between the three lads. So much so that they won't stop arguing to hear the good news their mother has for them. |

| Run Time | Around 15 minutes. [Estimated!] |
| Music | None. |
| Style | Irreverent approach to the nativity (the story is all there, but the perspective is unorthodox!). Likely to appeal to older children rather than the youngest element normally associated with such plays. |
| Synopsis | The Archangels are all relaxing in their common room when they get a call from the Boss... There are messages to be delivered, to Joseph, Mary and the three kings. Not to mention the shepherds in the fields too - Gabriel has to put down his Nintendo and get busy! |
