A 2000 year-old story, retold.

Mary and Joseph are amazed when an angel tells them they are expecting a baby. They are full of joy, but their story is only beginning. Follow their journey with their donkey as they travel to the stable in Bethlehem. We meet simple shepherds, tending their sheep, three wise rulers following a star (not forgetting the camel) and Herod, who is sneakily trying to find out what is going on and stop it. Laughter, surprises and plenty of carols along the way all go to make up a magical retelling of the story of the first Christmas.

One of my favourite parts about BOVTS is that it feels ‘homegrown’. From the set to the costume, lighting, acting and sound, every single aspect of a theatre production or film is down to the students. The location of Clifton is so serene and the School being so small everyone knows each other and it feels so personal and special. Violet Morris, BA Professional Acting Student
