Nativity 2: Danger In The Manger!

Malta Independent Thursday, 6 December 2012, 08:06 Last update: about 11 years ago

This Christmas, the unforgettable pupils of St. Bernadette’s are heading to Wales to compete in the National choir contest; “A song for Christmas’. New supply teacher Mr Peterson (David Tennant) has the unenviable task of trying to curb the hysterical enthusiasm of the kids - not to mention Mr Poppy (Marc Wootton) - but reluctantly finds himself getting swept along!

St Bernadette’s hit the road (without parental permission!) in an amphibious tour bus crammed to the heavens with Angels, Shepherds and an unaccompanied baby! Hot on their heels are their arch rivals Oakmoor and this year’s new challengers St Cuthbert’s College, led by Mr Peterson’s golden boy identical twin brother. Over land and water, charting mountains and caves and with a donkey in tow, the gang learn to conquer their fears, work as a team and trust their new teacher. However, time is running out and the singing competition does not accept latecomers….

Under the stars on one magical night the sparkle and shine of Christmas once again comes to life in Nativity 2: Danger In The Manger!

Written and directed by Debbie Isitt, produced by Nick Jones, and reprising their roles are Marc Wooton as the madcap Mr Poppy, Pam Ferris as the heart-warming, hard-working Head teacher and Jason Watkins as the competitive Gordon Shakespeare. Nativity 2 introduces David Tennant (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Doctor Who) as the overanxious supply teacher and Joanna Page (Love Actually, Gavin and Stacey) as his pregnant wife Mrs Peterson, with support from the hilarious Jessica Hynes (Twenty Twelve, The Royle Family) as Welsh diva Angel Matthews and Ian McNeice as Mr Peterson’s grumpy father (Rome, Doctor Who).
