stage plays by ian hornby
Marie is pregnant, but swears her innocence. Those who should believe her, including her parents, do not, and vice-versa.
Marie and boyfriend Joe can find no shelter when they go to "the City". They have been spurned by her GP, teacher and the clergy. But they are helped by addicts and the homeless, who emulate the shepherds, and a policeman, doctor and truck driver as the wise men.
In a final song (music and lyric included), Marie turns to the audience and asks, "Well, if it happened today, would YOU believe it?"
Playing time approx. 15 minutes.
