The Christian Humanitarian Reading Initiative for Spiritual Theatre (or C.H.R.I.S.T. for short) are putting on a production of The Nativity Story. It's opening night and nothing is going to plan. Despite a collapsing manger, a deranged donkey, and a director on the brink of hysteria, the show must go on.

This hilarious tour-de-force is the second farce from Mischief, creators of the critically acclaimed The Play That Goes Wrong. Once again, we watch as order unravels itself and pandemonium ensues in a piece that will be loved both as a piece to perform and one to watch.

The Nativity Goes Wrong received its world premiere at Reading Rep on 22 December.

Following on from the success of The Play That Goes Wrong, this is another triumphant farce from Theatre Mischief, ideal for the Christmas season and for anyone that's ever seen - or been in - a Nativity Play.
