After a short break the Fabulous Old Spot Theatre Company are back, with a seasonal revival of one of their most popular shows “The Old Spot Nativity” . Touring briefly round the rural venues in the West of the County ,they then settle into a Yuletide residence at the New Brewery Arts, in Cirencester on the 21st,22nd and 28th,29th of December at  11 and 2 daily. In keeping with the company’s aims, The Nativity, whilst entertaining all ages, is also suitable for fives years and up (as long as they’ve got someone to hide behind when King Herod appears) !

 

Told with humour, reverence, and one eye out for the Romans, a group of Cotswold shepherds explain, as best they can, their role in this timeless story, as well as those of the Magi, The Holy Parents, the Arch-villain Herod and Simeon and Anna. The result of the story is never in doubt, in that bleak midwinter, long, long ago, but why are the shepherds there in the first ,and what are they doing now, and why is Herod in such a tizzy and who on earth is Merry Andrew ?

This show is mean’t for small people, from five upwards, as well as their carers, brothers, sisters and friends

 

“The acting was fantastic and drew the audience swiftly into the myths and legends they find themselves entangled in”. Rosy Mercer, The Citizen

“Why go Stratford or London when you can have shear brilliance delivered to your doorstep ? “ audience comment on a previous show
