Bethlehem: A Nativity Play

By Laurence Housman and Laurence Houseman

Book Overview

A graceful revival of a cherished Christmas voice, Bethlehem: A Nativity Play invites you into a timeless theatre of wonder and renewal. This is a nativity narrative that feels both intimate and expansive-a stage play drama that speaks to schools, families, and lovers of classic British theatre alike. Laurence Housman's nativity drama is more than a script; it is a doorway to early twentieth century sensibilities rendered with clarity and warmth. The text offers a moving Christmas theatre script that blends spiritual reflection with human drama, ideal for classroom reading material and christmas reading for schools, yet it remains deeply resonant for casual readers and classic-literature collectors. Its tone balances reverence with accessible immediacy, making it a perfect introduction to christian religious drama and Victorian-Edwardian drama alike. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Bethlehem: A Nativity Play stands as a treasure of British theatre, a link to the Edwardian Christmas plays tradition, and a vivid reminder of how theatre can carry faith, hope, and communal joy into the present. Whether you seek a newly minted heirloom or a meaningful addition to a school library, this edition invites you to read, perform, and remember.
