RIDING LIGHTS THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS

NEARLY THE GOAT

a new play by Nigel Forde
directed by Paul Burbridge
designed by Anna Morris
music by Emma Leaman-Brown

with John Holden-White and Raewyn Lippert

Somewhere between the tinsel and the cabbage leaves, the crackers and the peelings of the
parsnips, comes the remarkable story of Nearly the Goat.

What on earth is his master to make of that eerie singing in the sky? Or a starlit search for a tiny stable while the sat-nav’s on the blink? To say nothing of the wolf! This night of all nights is heading for a flock of disasters. Well, Nearly. And if it wasn’t for one
relentlessly cheerful, extremely interrupting goat butting in...

Nearly the Goat lasts one hour and is suitable for age 5 and up.

RIDING LIGHTS THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS

ON CHRISTMAS NIGHT

written by Nigel Forde
directed by Jonathan Bidgood
designed by Anna Morris

On Christmas Night follws the adventures of two shepherds - Wayne and Mabel - in Bethlehem for a quiet evening out after struggling with the Roman census forms. They soon become embroiled in the events of the very first Christmas as they try to find suitable accommodation for a young mum-to-be. Aided and abetted by Snowy (their redoubtable woolly accomplice), through a mixture of subterfuge, disguise and near disaster, they manage to outflank the opposition in the form of Corporal Brutus and other unsporting characters, and being the story to a happy conclusion. The three wise men complete the cast - adding their own touch of wry humour as they follow the star on its mysterious course. There's colour, fun and excitement - a Riding Lights blend of the comic and serious, plus a generous helping of Christmas song and dance.
