Gold Frankincense Christmas Tree Ornaments and Myrrh - A Fantasy for Christmas

Highlights

Bare Stage/Simple Set Christmas

Synopsis

Written specifically for Christmas, this popular, wonderfully warm and witty play has been performed successfully throughout the year.

It is based on both the traditional Christmas stories and modern inventions, and tells of the birth and boyhood of Christ, and of his growing awareness of his destiny.

It also tells of a would-be fourth wise man and his comic attempts to capitalize on the coming of the Messiah.

The five actors play a variety of roles on a bare stage.

Originally presented off-Broadway in 1964, professionally produced at the Riverside Church in New York in 1965, with many productions throughout the country ever since.

Press Reviews

"A warm gem of a play. A resourceful and freshly conceived study of the nativity in modern terms."

— Lois Chaplin, Christian Science Monitor
