A Wayne in a Manger is the hilarious compilation of nativity
stories by Gervase Phinn. Discover some wonderfully funny and
touching nativity play anecdotes, including children forgetting
their lines, ad-libbing, falling of the stage, picking their noses
and showing their knickers. One brilliant anecdote tells of an
innkeeper who generously says there's plenty of room for Mary and
Joseph, while another child, jealous of Joseph's starring role,
allows Mary to come in but not Joseph, who can 'push off' ...
There's the baby Jesus who suddenly pipes up with 'My name is
Tammy, are you my Mommy?' and funniest of all, Mary who tells
Joseph, 'I'm having a baby - oh and it's not yours'. Gervase
Phinn's A Wayne in a Manger is the perfect gift this Christmas.
