Get your thieving hands off! Haven't you got some cud to chew or something?
Ugh! This stuff smells of beer and sick! Oi! Rudolf, here's some hay for you!

Excuse me... anyone???
I could do with a bit of help here.
Could the heavenly host sing alleluia or something to attract attention away to another part of the stage for a while?
Musical Director, I'd appreciate a bit of music to cover the shouting (which I'm planning to do right in Joseph's ear!)
And surely somewhere there's a midwife with embroidered towels and hot water at the ready?
I mean, it's bad enough that I am surrounded by sheep and a cow!
Hmmm.. thinking about it, I think this is the first time in the whole play that I have not been surrounded by sheep.

You can be midwife - too messy for me
I'll do the swearing like I said earlier - I'm good at that ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
OK!!
JK taps Joseph on the shoulder..
Joe? Would you like me to give a hand? I have boiling water here. I stuck my lightsaber in the water bucket and that did the trick. I can also use it to cut the cords, you know.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Time for Joseph to do the riiiight thing/
Delivering our new born King!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
(She then sings the Hallelujah chorus from the Messiah, doing all four parts. Where are the other angels? This business of singing bass and soprano is a bit wearying )

In between giving birth to the twins, Mary serenely grabs Sven out of Herod's pocket and throws him to comparative safety in the orchestra pit. He lands head first in the Musical Director's tuba, thus muting the sound. Now Mary can concentrate on producing the Messiah uninterrupted.

Donkey, I am afraid all the babyclothes were left in the car, along with the travel cot and all the other bits and pieces. There's no crib for a bed. Where on earth is the little Lord Jesus going to lay down his sweet head?
Hey Joseph, wake up! Come and see our gorgeous little baby boy. He's the image of his dad, look!
And could you rustle up a manger while you're at it? He needs somewhere to sleep!
