Our 2021 Nativity Production

Written by Kim Durham 

Directed by Hanna Adu-Boateng 

Designed by Meriel Pym 

A young woman is expecting, three magi are researching the heavens and two shepherd children are bored out of their heads minding the sheep – well nothing interesting ever happens around Bethlehem in December, does it?! Wise men (and not so wise men), talking sheep, angels, a shepherd family, camels, a horrible Herod, and carols (old and new) all go to make up a magical retelling of the story of the first Christmas.

We’re also touring this Nativity production around local schools – if you are interested in this, get in touch with us via [email protected]

Special thanks to Sam Pine for support on this production.

The culture at BOVTS is encouraging, respectful, welcoming and empowering; the environment and buildings are beautiful and I found Bristol to be one of the most wonderful cities in which to spend summer! Lindy Yeates, Foundation Course Student
