God's Messenger Department by Bill Siviter |
Roles | Minimum Male roles = 1. Minimum Female roles = 1. Minimum total with doubling = 16. Minimum total without doubling = 19. No chorus. Option for more animals to be added to the stable tableau. One of the characters is a star. Well, they're all stars, but you know what I mean. |
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! |
