A Wayne in a Manger

A Wayne in a Manger includes 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 hilarious 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" .
