HOLY PRESENTS
A humanette* puppet comedy starring the Holy Trinity at home for Christmas!
Joy to the world, in heaven Jesus’ iPhone 6S is ringing, the Holy Ghost is on the loo and God’s lost his glasses. Sweaty stilton, too much port and a turkey that’s drier than Joseph’s flip-flop; it’s just another family Christmas in the household of its holy originators.
An absurd and endearing portrait of Christmas, like The Royle Family meets Phoenix Nights, in miniature.
Winner of 2015 First Bite Commission by China Plate, mac Birmingham and Warwick Arts Centre.
Supported by Blind Summit and Arts Council grants for the arts
