You might think you know the nativity story, but not the way they tell it. This show will attempt to answer some of the very big questions about the very first Christmas. Just how gullible was Joseph? And why didn t he think to book a room in advance? Didn t he know the place would be packed for Christmas? Who looked after the sheep while the shepherds were wetting the baby s head? Did the wise men s camels have one hump or two? And why exactly did Herod have the hump? Two thousand years later why do we re-tell chapter one of the greatest story ever told by dressing our children in tea towels and dressing gowns and making them play carols on the Devil s musical instrument - the recorder?
