The Nativity

The team return with their take on the Nativity, where the angel Gabriel develops a firework obsession, a donkey-actor argument results in unnecessary nudity, and there is way too much fire.

The Goes Wrong Show team present their take on the Nativity story, generously funded by a corporate sponsor after the BBC refused to pay for any more of the Cornley Dramatic Society’s work. As ever, all soon descends into chaos: an ingenious pop-up book set soon proves a physical danger to both cast and crew, the angel Gabriel develops a firework obsession, the actors inside a donkey have a terrible falling-out that results in unnecessary nudity, and there is much more fire than anyone anticipated. In between, the greatest story ever told is told.
