Ooooh, that shade of blue really compliments your complexion...

Afternoon in a town with no name somewhere in the hill country of Judea. Tinkles of delicate girlish laughter issue from a nearby house.

Recap

Ladies and gentlemen
Young children and old
Our tale has begun
The story unfolds

Mary has heard
She will give birth
To God the Saviour
Of all the earth

She finally got
Gabriel's text
And at his message
Was most perplexed

She was amazed
By this great news
But, though a maiden,
She didn't refuse

So stay with us now
Pull up a pew
Believe it or not
Time for scene two

Scene 2

Now Mary's in the family way
What are the neighbours going to say

She wonders now just how to act
(The situation will take tact)

So off to see her cousin Liz
To ask her what the best plan is

(She's six month's gone herself, you know,
Long past the stage it starts to show).

With sage wise words and good advice
She'll curse all men and call them lice

For girlfriends know just what to say
All aided by some Chardonnay

You know, Liz, this being preggers isn't all it's cracked up to be, either. Have you got any indigestion mints?... one of these babies isn't all that meek and mild.

Oh cat gingerly strokes cat, it looks like just you and me, then.

I come here for a girl's night in with my cousin Liz...a few drinks, a good old natter, and Mr Darcy on the video... and she ends up locked in the lavatory. I told her that curry last night wasnt' a good idea!

Mum's in a huff with me and won't reply to my texts, I've had a row with Joseph - honestly, who does that man think he is? - and I've got parrot droppings all over my nice new blue dress.

Oh, and I don't know what that baby's up to but I wish she'd sweetly sleep and not stir quite so much. I don't know, I think she could play f**tb*ll for England when she grows up, the way she's going on.

Hearing the band start up, Mary glances down at her costume... notices the small cushion is just beginning to slip.... runs behind the curtain. A few minor readjustments later and she returns to the stage, looking a little more serene

My soul doth magnify...er...doth magnify....

pssssst, Narrator.. I hadn't mugged up this bit of the script yet. What is it I'm supposed to be zooming in on?

Do you know, cat. I'd be feeling really blessed among women if I didn't have this terrible indigestion. God's been pretty good to me, you know... I mean, I know everyone's talking about me behind my back, gossiping and saying I'm no better than I should be. But despite all that, God is my Saviour and he's done me a real honour choosing me to be the mummy for his ickle baby son. Tickles cat indulgently under chin All those stuck up tittle tattles around the town, he'll soon shut them up. Did he pick one of them? No.. not on your nelly. Probably not a proper virgin among them, you know. No, he picked me, his humble handmaiden. Not bad, eh? You know, I bet people will be talking about this for months!!!!

Oh, well, as you can probably notice, I'm six months along. It's been ever so dreadful-boring around here! Zechy hasn't spoken since that angel took his voice away for doubting that I was indeed with child. He called me too old. Imagine! I think I need another Malteser.

And you, my dear, have put on a little weight as well!

From far away there is a sound of rattling wheels. As it gets closer and closer it gets louder and louder and faster and faster. From stage left the tea trolley appears doing about 30mph. The Tealady, lying flat across its top shelf, sticks out both hands and swipes the bottles from the hand of Elizabeth and the ... nether regions... of the Fairy Godmother. Trolley zooms off stage right. Squeal of wheels and smell of burning rubber

Here you are CSM. Let's say fifty quid for the pair of them, shall we?
