Nativity Nightmare!
Lincoln Community Night School Enthusiastic Theatre Company (LCNSETC) return with another disastrous Christmas production this December bringing The Nativity to the stage with an hilarious twist!
Fortunately, the LCNSETC is a fictional group created by the very capable Asylum Players, Lincoln’s Blue Room in-house theatre company.
“It’s kind of the opposite of panto where the actors play everything as straight as possible while the set falls apart, everything goes wrong, the costumes are terrible and people fall off the stage, but they try and keep going throughout,” explained Stephen Gillard, Artistic Director of The Blue Room and Asylum Players.
Stephen wrote the sketch as a warm-hearted take on his own experiences of the Bible stories at Christmas, following the success of last year’s A Christmas Carol (Catastrophe).
“It’s just about the LCNSETC attempting to put on the greatest story ever told, the birth and life of Jesus Christ, with seven very poor actors and a terrible donkey costume.”
Performances of The Nativity (Nightmare) will take place on December 13-14 and 20-21.
Tickets are £63 for the show and Christmas dinner, with full vegetarian, vegan and non-alcoholic options available. Doors open at 6.15pm for arrival drinks, and the performance commences at 7pm, with the evening finishing between 9.30 and 10pm.
