I did them in the early sixties. I was at junior schools in Gosport, Barrow and Callington in Cornwall. Just as entertaining as the plays themselves, are the stories which emerge from them.
My favourite is the story of the little boy, who was deemed to be too small for the role of Joseph. He was allocated the part of the innkeeper. On the day of the performance, he greeted the prospective parents with the words, "Well you can come in Mary - but you can Piss Off Joseph, because I wanted that part!"
