Be Not Afraid! (WIP)

25 Sept 2025

Be Not Afriad! (WIP)

Camilla has a theory that who you played in your school Nativity indicates how you will be later in life. Camilla played Mary in her Nativity and things aren’t going so well... Maybe re-creating this moment will sort things out.

Through characters, games and lots (and lots) of audience interaction, Camilla re-tells the story of the Nativity from a slightly different perspective. Expect familiar faces, and a few surprising ones- there definitely was a Lobster present at the birth of Christ?

She asks the important questions, such as: how wise were the Wise Men? Was Joseph the original cuck? And, where is Trig Trog?

It’s September- it’s never too early to start thinking about Christmas!

A show of pure silliness from someone who played Mary when she was 8 and won’t stop talking about it.

Camilla is an award-winning comedian, clown and friend..
