Noel’ is a bright new retelling of the age-old Christmas Story. All the usual Christmas characters are present: the Roman soldiers proclaiming the census, the three (or is that four?) kings traveling by camel, the shepherds, the innkeeper and of course Joseph and his family.

But in ‘Noel’ the emphasis is on reminding the audience that Christmas is a celebration – a celebration of Jesus’ birthday.

And so there’s lots of music – some old some new – lots of fun, lots of jokes and with each scene being self-contained, lots of scope to involve an entire school in presenting the Christmas Story.

Oh and you also get to meet the letters N-O-E-L (and a quite few of their friends) as they create amusing anagrams to punctuate the action.
