Grandad is wakened from his customary post dinner slumber by his two grandchildren, Martin and Sophie, who   ask him to tell them a story before they go to bed.  Despite being faced with the daunting task of including a long list of apparently unrelated characters specifically requested by Martin and Sophie, Grandad ingeniously combines them in an unconventional but faithful telling of the Christmas Story, the various episodes of which are acted out before them.  Running in parallel excerpts from the Bible are reminders of the more traditional version of the same story. 

The play, now released for performance in the United Kingdom, runs approximately 20 minutes and is written such that it can be performed with the minimum of costume and props.  Staging is simple and the play can be performed in any Church or Church Hall.     A wide range of ages can be included in the cast (in the first performance the cast ages ranged from 4  to 62!!).

Reading Copies can be purchased from the Publishers for £5.00 which includes all postage and packing (within the UK only). Cheques should be made payable to Garrion Enterprises.  Enquiries relating to obtaining a licence for performance or any non UK enquiries should be addressed directly to the Publishers.
