Big Bad Ben Of Bethlehem – Nativity Play

Laugh-a-minute Christmas nativity play. A real crowd-pleaser.

A rip-roaring nativity play, sure to get audiences giggling. Poor Mr & Mrs Innkeeper have a problem! Their son Ben is a bit of a handful. Who on earth would want to stay at Bethlehem’s inn while Big Bad Ben is causing mischief? Fortunately, help is on hand through a strange visitor… Super-Nanny Gabriel will help Ben to be better behaved and might persuade him to clean up the inn, just in case any shepherds or wise men come to visit!

VERY flexible. This play can easily be performed by a small handful of children or with a cast of 100+.

If you stick exactly to the script, this performance should take about 25-30 minutes. If this is too long or too short for you, suggestions are included as part of the material you receive, which should help you easily shorten or lengthen the production by 10-15 minutes either way

We believe that this nativity needs a minimum of five days rehearsal time. Please note, this is not a guarantee. Please listen to the songs and view the material before deciding how much rehearsal time your pupils will require.

LOVE LEARN2SOAR

"I've used several of your shows now in our junior department, Big Bad Ben, Away With the Manger and Egyptian Nativity. They have all been truly excellent. The pupils always have an immense amount of fun with the very catchy songs and rib-tickling scripts. I'm happy to say that we love Learn2soar!"

WONDERFUL

"We performed Big Bad Ben of Bethlehem with our 5-7 year olds in our multi-cultural school. We appreciated the editable script which was included, but found that we were still able to use the original script and songs word for word without any problem. The children and audience loved it! It's a wonderful play with wonderful catchy songs. Thank you very much."
