This exciting, innovative play uses both spoken English and signs taken directly from British Sign Language to produce a funny and charming show that can be enjoyed by everyone.

Telling the story of the nativity in rhyme from the perspective of the animals and the stars who were at the very first Christmas, the play uses a combination of English, sign language and music to produce a totally inclusive show that is accessible to children of differing abilities and interests.
