Away In A Manger

by Niki Davies

Ages: 5-7 years

Running Time: 20 minutes approx.

A delightful nativity about one proud mule called Maurice who is possessive about his manger. What a commotion it caused when he had to share it with a stream of visitors

Details

Maurice the mule is not happy! All he wants to do is munch away on some fresh hay and settle down for a peaceful night’s sleep, but one by one he finds a hen, a mouse, a bird and a spider in his manger and he doesn’t like sharing it with anyone! Chasing them all away, Maurice tries to settle down to sleep when suddenly there is yet more commotion. Why is there a baby in his manger? And why have shepherds and kings come all this way to see Him? Join Maurice and his friends as they try to puzzle out exactly what is going on in their busy stable!

Seven fantastically catchy songs and an adorable script make this a future classic nativity
