A Scandal in Bethlehem

The Collective Productions

What really happened the night Jesus was born? You dont know? Let us show you.

This is our tale of how it all began, you know, the whole Christmas thing. We invite you to join us as we delve into the story that has inspired religions, books and films. It may not be quite the tale you know, or even think you know . As we said, this is our tale and sometimes a good story needs a little… fabrication…maybe even a spaceship? Come and see for yourselves.
This is a panto for adults. Yes, we have the classic tropes of dressing in whacky costumes and playing gender opposites etc but there is language, humour and gestures which may not be suitable for people younger than 18.
