This Christmas, primary school teacher Paul Maddens is being charged with the biggest challenge of his life - mounting the schools musical version of the Nativity. Competing against the posh local school for the honour of best reviewed show in town, the stakes are raised when Paul idly boasts that his ex-girlfriend Jennifer, a Hollywood Producer, is coming to see his show with a view to turning it into a film. The only trouble is - they havent spoken in years. With eccentric assistant Mr Poppy fuelling his little white lie, Maddens suddenly finds himself a local celebrity and at the centre of quarrelling parents and over-excited children desperate in their bid for fame and fortune. Now Maddens only hope is to get back in touch with Jennifer and lure Hollywood to town so that everybody's Christmas wishes come true. (iTunes)
