Storyline

The dance can be unchoreographed, allowing the children to enjoy the moment in their own way, showcasing their personalities.This takes place on Epiphany, the 12th day of Christmas. Here, Eliot tells the story of the nativity from the unusual perspective of one of three Magi (kings) themselves, emphasising the difficulty of their journey and their feelings of alienation when presented with the birth of Christ – and an entire new faith. Additional Narrator Lines: “As our story comes to an end, under the star’s bright gleam, We thank you for joining us in this magical Christmas dream. Description: Several children can play shepherds, with a few lines each, expressing wonder and joy. This moving poem, showing the hope and light that is associated with Christmas, comes to us from the Anglo-Irish poet who was father of the Hollywood legend Daniel. In his early years, Day-Lewis was a Marxist who became a member of the British Communist party, and was influenced by his university friend WH Auden; but he became a much more traditional lyric writer, and an unlikely establishment figure who was awarded the role of poet laureate in 1968.

Narrated by a guiding star, the play takes the audience through the events leading up to the birth of Jesus. It emphasizes themes of hope, joy, kindness, and sharing, making it not just a play but a heartwarming experience for all involved.

The Guiding Star(s): (Narration 2) “Tonight we tell a story old and true, Of a baby named Jesus, born for me and you.”Betjeman was a practising Anglican, and his faith is explored in some of his poems, particularly those inspired by Christmas. The poet’s repeated question of “is it true?”, seemingly aimed at the Christian message of the festival, moves the poem along from doubt towards a sense of divine wonder that puts the secular rituals of the season into a magnificent – albeit characteristically curmudgeonly – perspective.
