Scene 1 introduces the characters which include three mice, a donkey, a camel and an ox. Scene 2 outlines the Roman census. The innkeeper’s children Leah and Reuben explain this. Scene 3 the shepherds’ children Toby, Nathaniel and Ruth recall what their fathers have told them about the event ten years ago. Scene 4 is the turn of Bart, Cassie and Mel to tell what their wise men fathers have told them. Scene 5 outlines th escape made by the wise men and the holy family. Scene 6 rounds it off with the celebration of Jesus’ birthday. The mention of the slaughter of the innocents will need sensitivity and is included to explain the escape of Jesus to Egypt.
