Christmas Gone Worng!

Ever felt that your festive celebrations weren't quite Christmas-movie perfect?

Join the club!

Meet a stroppy Mary and a grumpy Joseph, a confused wise man and an angel who ... well, you'll have to read the script to find out.

With cast options ranging from two actors to two classfuls, this adaptable scripts has roles for everyone - singers, actors and non-speaking roles - and you can invite the audience to join in too!

But the Good News is that God is OK with messy lives and lumpy gravy, so it all turns out OK in the end.

Christmas Gone Worng? You bet!



Christmas Gone Worng! is a light-hearted Nativity play telling the traditional Christmas story with the help of carols, but where everything goes a bit worng.

The script incorporates readings from the gospels of Matthew, Luke and John in an easy-to-read translation.

The theme of the play is that God came to us at Christmas, despite things not being perfect. Immanuel, God With Us, even in our mess and muddle.

It is suitable for a school production such as a Nativity play or Christmas assembly, or at church as part of All-Age Worship, Messy Church, Crib Service or a Carol Concert.

Running time is approximately 22 minutes including readings, carol excerpts and talk, but excluding any songs or carols you may wish to add between scenes.
