Synopsis

A different Christmas show, funny yet reverent, that does not demand a fully-equipped theatre. This is a modernization of half a dozen English Miracle Plays. The originals overflowed with contemporary humor when first done, yet the underlying faith always shone through. Enjoy the friendly opening as the players share Christmas candy with the audience, watch God create the universe (including your hometown), boo the villain Satan, recognize ourselves in Adam and Eve, watch in sadness as Cain defies God, laugh at the arguments between Noah and his wife as they embark on their rickety ark, enjoy the slapstick of the shepherds as they journey from your part of the world to a reverent meeting in Bethlehem and conclude with joyous cast-and-audience caroling. Two stepladders and half a dozen stools are all you need for a set. It's an evening of warm sharing for all ages.

Customer Reviews

"A Merry Medieval Christmas was a new and different experience for our cast and our audiences! Background on the play was printed in the program and also given in a pre-curtain speech to the audiences -- which here are very conservative. The result: they loved it! A number of people came a second time and brought friends. The cast found it to be an invigorating experience."
Review by Dr. Mary H. Ellis, Theatre Plus, Inc., Port Gibson, Miss.
"A romp through Bible stories, inviting laughter and reverence at the same time. Room for improv and contemporary references. Audiences sang with the carols interspersedÑthey loved it!"
Review by Dorrie Brown, Goose High School, Happy Valley Goose Bay, Newfoundland, Canada
