Christian Drama at its best!, 25 Aug 2003
Having seen many of these sketches performed and also used some myself in Youth Work I can highly recommend this book. The sketches are very funny but not frivolous. They all contain a clear, but not patronising Christian message which can (if desired) be used in follow up youth-work discussions. They are generally easy to perform and don't require a huge talented cast. Some require just one actor. This and Kingdom Airways are even worth buying just for personal enjoyment.

liked this, then try this too., 27 Oct 2004
If you like this, and are looking for a new take on Nativity plays, try my other Christmas offering 'Are the Kings still wearing Curtains?' published by RADIUS (info@radius.org.uk) The series of dramas follows the hand over of roles from grown-up nativity players to their new, young replacements. The actor who played Joseph hands over to his son, the one who played Mary to her young daughter and so on... the surprise is when the doll that played the babe in the manger hands on his role. I like it, but then I would, and it's tried and tested!
Getting real for Christmas, 24 Oct 2003
This little book opens up the idea of Christmas. It could have been aimed at youngsters but it would be equally at home in an adult's stocking. While it doesn't take itself too seriously, there is a sound and helpful point to each of the 'dramas'. Each of the stories takes and examines an aspect of the first Christmas story and draws out a few salient points in an amusing, yet helpful way.
This could be a treasure in a school, youth group or family. Some of the questions that always arise could be explored and, perhaps, answered to some degree - especially in the dramas entitled 'Mary', 'God bless everyone' and 'Theology story'.
In all, you would find it harder to come across a more entertaining and helpful little tome when either introducing the Christmas story to young ones, or to those of another faith.

A unique photographic exploration of street theatre, 25 Apr 2002
'The Gig' is a journey in photography with a travelling group of street theatre artists - a series of striking images depicting the troupe of 'Strangelings' themselves and their remarkable costumes, but also the audience reaction from ordinary people around Britain - including scenes in Liverpool and at the opening of the Millennium Bridge. The author is Italian but he's clearly gone native - what he captures in his photographs is something very British. It's great fun - simply but attractively packaged - and as a document of a time and a place, and of people with a real and engaging passion - it's like no other book I've ever read. Recommended for anyone with an interest in photography, or in the future of theatre and the arts.
