“St Mary’s Church in Huntingdon was the setting for Shakespeare at the George Trust’s opening performance of The Nativity on Wednesday night.

The location provided a wonderful atmosphere, and the clever stage setting and lighting allowed the audience to feel as if they had been transported to a medieval market place to watch beautiful and engaging street theatre.

The Nativity is a modern revival of the original Mystery Plays that were traditionally performed outdoors. They were written in verse, rich in comedy and used to teach the Christian message using Biblical characters.”
