The funniest and most magical Nativity you will ever see. A travelling troupe of two actors and an opera singer arrive by donkey to masterfully, movingly and miraculously enact the greatest story ever told. The absurdly talented Maurice Rose, the alarmingly unpredictable Ronald Bream RAC, and the distinguished diva Mrs Leonora Fflyte play a cast of thousands in a Christmas comedy that conjures up the sublime, the ridiculous and the truly angelic. Patrick Barlow's The Messiah was first performed to universal acclaim by the National Theatre of Brent in 1983, and revived at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2000. This new version, with additional material by Julian Hough, Jude Kelly and John Ramm, was published alongside a major touring production in 2018, starring Hugh Dennis, John Marquez and Lesley Garrett, which was seen at venues around the country including Birmingham Repertory Theatre and The Other Palace, London.

A zany satire from the crazy National Theatre of Brent that sends up theatre's epic pretensions and earnest solemnity. The entire company of two, led by artistic director Desmond Olivier Dingle and his complete ensemble, Raymond Box, re-enact the entire Christmas story, including all of the best-loved characters, Joseph, Mary, and Archangel Gabriel, Herod, God and many more. First performed at the Tricycle Theatre in 1983, Patrick Barlow's The Messiah is a hilarious updating of the greatest story ever told, including many specially researched brand-new sequences culled from the very latest biblical findings. This edition was published alongside the revival at the Bush Theatre, London, in December 2000.
