Colin Magee/Andrew Oxspring: A Big Green Adventure

All year round musical for 7-11 years (KS2)Running time 60 minutes approx.This fast-paced, fun-packed musical pulls no punches in delivering its big green message! Join Snowy and Chip on a voyage of discovery from their threatened forest home to the big city. Meet a host of colourful characters, including the ratty inhabitants of the landfill site, jet-lagged food items on the supermarket shelf, rush-hour drivers and the enigmatic Professor Plantpot, who all show us just how fragile our planet is... and what we can do about it!Plot summaryOur story begins with a meeting of the forest's animal elders, presided over by chief elder, Snowy. The untrustworthy and sneaky Weezil brings news that the humans have plans to 'develop' the forest, and suggests that giving their blessing to such a development would bring the forest residents a wonderful, new, hi-tech standard of living (song - What Kind Of World?'). The elders vote on whether or not to welcome the humans, but with the vote tied it rests with Snowy to decide their fate. Snowy consults the forest goddess, Natura, and is told to take a journey of discovery to the city before making a decision, to find out more about human behaviour. Leaving the future of the forest in the balance, Snowy, and fellow elder and friend Chip, embark on their adventure.As they set off, they experience first hand the plight of the forest's trees, and learn how man's actions have had a devastating effect (song - It Doesn't Pay To Be A Tree). But they also learn how human behaviour can change to reverse this effect. Next, the pair stumble upon the revolting, yet comical rats, Itchy and Scabs, who inhabit the landfill site. They witness the waste created by humans, and how this provides a 'paradise' for the roguish rodents! (song - Welcome To Our Paradise.)Next it's on to the supermarket, where Snowy and Chip meet some rather jet-lagged food items, who explain the environmental impact of their being flown thousands of miles just to satisfy human tastes for exotic and un-seasonal produce (song - What's The Deal?). Having learned what can and should be done to improve this situation, Snowy and Chip then encounter rush hour in the city (song - Driving Song)! They meet a very pushy car salesman, only to be 'rescued' by the brilliant Professor Plantpot who, along with some 'green' friends, explains that many humans do care about the planet, and are changing their behaviour accordingly.Snowy and Chip learn how, with a little thought and effort, humans can reduce global warming, save energy, and create less waste (song - Switch It Off). The professor also demonstrates the limitless possibilities of recycling (song - R.E.C.Y.C.L.E.), unveiling Robbie - a robot made entirely from junk!With their new friends in tow, Snowy and Chip are in a race against time to get back to the forest, which has now fallen under the control of Weezil! Will the humans and their bulldozers be welcomed with open arms? Will forest life ever be the same again? That remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure, with the final song (Make A Change Today) still ringing in their ears, your audience will feel uplifted, inspired, and above all... thoroughly entertained!

Andrew Oxspring: Do You Remember The First Time

End of year/leavers musical for 7-11 years (KS2)Running time 60 minutes approx.Do you remember your first day at school? Or the first time you were sent to see the head? What about first time you stood on the starting line clutching an egg and spoon? School is the place where we experience many ?firsts?, and the most memorable can be re-lived through the songs and sketches in this hilarious, emotionally-charged new musical, which promises to deliver a bucket-load of laughs?and tears! Whatever else your children, their teachers and parents remember about school, this is a production they'll never ever forget!Plot summaryFour nervous candidates are waiting to be interviewed for their first ever job! As they sit in a state of agitation they begin talking to each other about life before they entered the big, bad world, and reminisce about the safety and security of being young and going to school. (song ? ?Do You Recall??) As they recall many of the ?first times? that school provided, it soon becomes clear that perhaps it wasn?t the plain-sailing, easy life they at first remembered it to be!Take your first ever day at school, for instance, and witness one family?s chaotic start to the morning. (song ? ?My First Day At School?) Will the crying stop long enough to get little Milly into her new school shoes and out of the door?And learning to tell the time? The frustration, the confusion, the pain?and that was just how the teacher felt! (song ? ?Telling The Time?) Making sense of a clock for the first time is far from easy, as we see in this scene!Waiting outside an office brings back a very memorable ?first? for the interviewees ? being sent to the head! What horrors lie in wait behind the door for a group of little ones who?ve been sent from the classroom in disgrace? (song ? ?I?ve Been sent To The Head?) Are the tales of canes and slippers, told to them by parents and grandparents, real or just folklore from a dark and distant past?!The first shot at sporting glory we ever get is taking part in the much celebrated Egg and Spoon race. For the watching parents it might only be a camcorder moment at which to go ?Aaaah!?, but for the competitors it?s the chance to be a hero! And every dirty trick in the book will be used to ensure this chance is not wasted! (song ? ?Egg And Spoon?)Who remembers the first time they were allowed to attend an after-school club? The promise of something exciting, out of the ordinary! For the group of children in this scene, perhaps the reality might not quite live up to the expectation! (song ? ?Football, Netball, Drama, Dance?)And finally, primary school gives us another first ? our first real goodbye. Leaving at the end of year 6 introduces us to new feelings and new expectations. Life seems to be getting more serious, but at the same time more exciting. All of this is wonderfully captured in the final scene, and song ? ?The End Of The Road?

It is unlikely you will want to perform every scene, so below is a guide to help you choose the scenes and songs you want to include in your production. Continuity scripts have been written specifically to introduce and link each scene, though you may wish to personalise this aspect of the show with your own memoirs of the specific areas of school life covered in the scene.Scene 1 (associated song - Monday Morning Routine) Enjoy the chaos that is a Monday morning in the classroom!

Characters: Teacher, 12 children, a mumScene 2 (associated song - Hey TA!) Discover just how indispensable our teaching assistants are, as a hapless teacher struggles to a make confused class understand some simple maths! In a hilarious bit of role reversal find out who really wears the trousers (or should that be rubber gloves) in the classroom!

Characters: 2 teachers, 14 long-jumping childrenScene 4 (associated song - School Trip Boogie) After the back seat scramble, the umpteenth head count, the complaints of a very grumpy driver, a bit of travel sickness and countless verses of 'The Wheels On The Bus', will the class make it to the zoo in time to witness the historic birth of a baby panda? Characters: Teacher, 2 adult helpers, bus driver, 8 childrenScene 5 (associated song - SATs Blues) Find out what goes through the minds of three very different children as they sit down to do a science SAT paper.

Andrew Oxspring: What Christmas Means To Me

Christmas musical for 4-7 and 7-11 yearsRunning time 45 minutes (KS1) or 60 minutes (KS2) approx.This entertaining new musical takes a witty yet thoughtful look at the characters and events that shape our experiences of the festive season. Laugh at the blind panic of last-minute shoppers, Christmas day early-risers eager to get their hands on what?s under the tree, Christmas-cracker addicts, and the ageing Rich Clifford's annual challenge for the Christmas number one! But we also consider how Christmas came to be, and learn that all the trappings of our modern celebrations mean very little, unless we are able to share this time of year with our nearest and dearest. Plot summaryThe show begins with a resounding, whole-cast sing-a-long of the opening number - 'What Does Christmas Mean To You?' after which we find ourselves in the familiar surroundings of a classroom! Although it's the last few days of the school term, and the children think they should be taking it easy, the teacher still wants her class to produce one more piece of writing, entitled 'What Christmas Means To Me'. With the children's discussion of their ideas providing the continuity, we become witness to some truly entertaining seasonal delights!We all know what it's like, trying to do some last minute Christmas shopping, and the characters in our first scene sum up the experience beautifully, providing us with lots to laugh at! (song - 'I'd Rather Stay At Home')What would Christmas be without a festive song from an ageing pop star? Join daytime talk-show host, June Chandler, as she interviews the legendary 'Sir' Rich Clifford, who at sixty years old can still make his fans go week at the knees! Then sit back in a comfy chair and enjoy his not-quite-energetic performance, accompanied by his famous backing singers, the Bellafonté Sisters. (song - 'The Christmas Number One')How many children can resist the urge to get up at 3 o'clock on Christmas morning to see what presents Santa has left under the tree? Certainly not the one in this scene, which isn't surprising when the present in question is a shiny new games console! Mum and Dad's numerous attempts throughout the day to drag their youngster away from the TV screen are futile! And what about poor Grandma and Grandpa, who just want to sit on the settee and watch the Queen? (song - 'X-Box, Playstation or Wii')Christmas crackers - don't you just love them? Well, nobody loves them quite as much as the children in the next scene. Even when their relentless pursuit of 'bangs', paper hats and corny jokes threaten to ruin Christmas dinner, they still can't help themselves! And who can blame them! (song - 'Let's Pull Another Cracker')Next we are reminded of the reason why we celebrate Christmas - the Nativity. A traditional tableau is presented to a short narration of the bible story, and a meaningful new song - 'A Night To Remember'So, with lots to think about, the class conclude that Christmas can mean different things to different people, and our hopes for the 'big day' may not necessarily be the same as everyone else's. However, it is unanimously agreed that what really makes Christmas special is what many of us take for granted - the chance to spend some precious time with the people we love. (song - 'Just Being Together') After all, where's the fun in pulling a cracker on your own?

Janet Grierson: Gold - The Tale Of King Midas

All year round musical for 7-11 yearsRunning time 60 minutes approx.Telling the tale of Midas, the original 'King of Bling', this entertaining new musical delivers all the glitter, glamour and sparkle you could hope for, with eleven memorable, show-stopping songs, and a fun-packed script. Laugh along as the hapless, greedy king with the golden touch proceeds to squander a very special gift. As an extended cast of characters watch in despair, Midas indulges his 'desire to acquire', but ultimately learns a very important lesson ? some things in life are far more precious than simply being loaded!Plot SummaryTo the opening bars of the first song (Such A Wealthy Man) King Midas regally enters and sits on his elegant throne, ready to be waited on hand and foot. Through the narrator's words and ?catty? jibes of his courtiers, we learn of his immense wealth and obsession with all things gold. His love of the other finer things in life, namely food and clothes, are also made apparent through the demands he places on his royal chefs (Song ? We Cook And We Bake) and seamstresses (Song ? Measuring And Cutting), who pander to his every whim. However, when required by his financial advisors to discuss important issues of government, he dismisses them, preferring to concentrate on counting his own stash of gold coins! (Song ? So Much Money)The Queen and Princess Marigold are desperate for Midas to be the loving, attentive husband and father he used to be (Song ? Day After Day), and his once-loyal subjects grow angry that their king?s obsession with gold has led to his neglecting them too, and their crumbling city. (Song ? Our Beautiful City) As things go from bad to worse a stranger visits Midas, offering to grant him one wish, in the hope that he will use it to become a wiser and more caring ruler. Although advised by his wise men and family to wish for something for the benefit of everyone (Song ? One Wish), Midas famously asks that everything he touches turns to gold! (Song ? Gold)Delighted with his new powers (Song ? The Golden Touch), he proceeds to gleefully turn every object in his palace and gardens into gold ? even his roses, much to the bewilderment of his gardeners! He nevertheless soon realises that it is more of a curse than a blessing, when he unwittingly touches Princess Marigold and she becomes a golden statue! With nobody daring to come near him (Song ? Beware), a lonely, distraught Midas begs forgiveness from the stranger who granted his wish. After a humiliating bathe in magical waters, the King is relieved of his golden touch, and vows to make amends for his greed and foolishness... much to the relief of everyone! (Song ? Turn It Around)

The well-known storyline is embellished with some new over-the-top characters, which children will relish getting their teeth into! Perfect for Christmas, or throughout the year, this musical promises to be lots of fun!Plot summaryIn a small, provincial village, the locals are excitedly discussing London, where fortunes are made, and dreams come true! (song - Go To London) Down on his luck, young Dick Whittington decides to head for the city, to see if the streets really are paved with gold. However, no sooner has he arrived in London than he realises it's not quite the place of opportunity he thought it would be. (song - This Is London) Exhausted from his journey, he takes a nap on the doorstep of respectable looking house, the owner of which, Mr Fitzwarren, takes pity on Dick and offers him a roof over his head. In exchange for this Dick must work in the house under the comical but mean-spirited cook, butler and maid, who make it their mission to drive Dick to despair. (song - A Recipe For Disaster).To add to his woes, Dick's attic bedroom is overrun each night with rats and mice. (song - Your Furry Friends) This leaves him tired and vulnerable to the domestic staff's bullying. However, he finds a friend in Alice, Mr Fitzwarren's daughter, who promises to keep his tormentors at bay, and advises him that getting a cat might help control his pestilent night visitors. He takes her advice, and with his meagre earnings he buys Puss, a flea-bitten old moggy! They are soon best friends, (song - One Purr-fect Match) and life becomes happier.One day Mr Fitzwarren gathers his household together. He gives them the opportunity to send items on board his trading ship, bound for far-off lands, and the chance to make a good profit. Alice suggests that Dick sends Puss, and reluctantly he agrees. His life in the house soon becomes miserable again, so he decides to run away, but doesn't get very far before he hears the chiming bells of Bow Church. They seem to be telling him to turn back, promising he will one day be Lord Mayor of London! (song - Turn Again, Whittington).Meanwhile, in a distant country, the captain of Mr Fitzwarren' ship is attending a banquet given by the king and queen. (song - She Loves To Shop) Suddenly the palace is swamped by rats and mice, which eat all the food in seconds flat! When the king explains that this happens at every mealtime, the captain tells him he has something in his cargo which might help. At the next hurriedly-arranged banquet, nobody is quite sure what the strange creature is that the captain has brought with him, but they are thrilled to see it deal so effectively with the rats and mice that turn up expecting another easy meal! (song - Go Super-Puss). The captain quickly seizes the opportunity to make some money - a lot of money!Following the ship's return, Mr Fitzwarren again gathers together the members of his household. He presents Dick with a vast fortune - the reward for Puss's heroic performance! At last Dick's luck has changed. He has a glittering future before him, the highlights being marrying Alice, and, as the

Andrew Oxspring: A Blast From The Past

End of year/leavers musical for 7-11 yearsRunning time 60 minutes approx.Try telling a child what school used to be like in Mum and Dad's (or even their grandparents') day, and they'd never believe you! Well, here's an opportunity to let them experience it for themselves, and also provide a nostalgic trip for those who can remember when free school milk came in bottles! When navy-blue knickers were every schoolgirl's must-have accessory! When a swish of the cane awaited any child who pushed their luck! When school photographs were taken with cameras that contained film, and everyone learned to read with 'Janet & John'. But although a lot has changed since then, one thing stays the same?the one thing that is celebrated in this fantastic new musical?school can be a lot of fun! Plot SummaryFollowing the opening song (?A Blast From The Past?) we join two children, Alice and James, at home with their family. They are feeling slightly put-out that a number of their classmates will be missing the final week at school in favour of early holidays to Disney World and Centre Parks, while they still have to face the daily grind! As Mum, Dad, Gran and Grandpa try to console them with the fact that their last week will be more relaxed, with trips, parties, non-uniform days and suchlike, the conversation turns to their own memories of school in the ?olden? days! These recollections provide us with some hilarious snapshots of what things used to be like in the dim and distant past!For example, what did school children used to wear? Well, with the aid of a catwalk, two flamboyant presenters and a few reluctant models, we find out the answer! In a fashion show that demonstrates what every discerning child would have worn to school through the ages, we are re-introduced to some memorable designs, culminating in the celebration of a truly classic item! (song ? ?Navy Blue Knickers?)Dad digs out an old whole-school photo and we learn how, with skill, timing and nimble feet, he?s managed to appear twice in the same picture! Confused? All is revealed, and we come to appreciate that having your photo taken at school these days can be a slightly more stressful affair for all concerned?especially the photographer! (song ? ?Sit Still And Smile?)James and Alice then listen in stunned silence as the adults talk about the methods that ?old-school? headteachers used to discipline unruly pupils! We witness a training day when enthusiastic heads are put through their paces and instructed in the best techniques for wielding a cane! Painfully funny! (song ? ?Six Of The Best?)Remember free school milk, in bottles? Mum and Dad certainly do, and also the thrill of being picked to be the ultimate teacher?s helper?.milk monitor! However, we soon discover that being given a daily bottle of the ?white stuff? didn?t always provide the benefits to a child?s health that it was supposed to! (song ? ?Drink Your Milk?)And what about learning to read? It used to be a much less-complicated affair, all done with those loveable and memorable characters, Janet and John. Forget phonemes, digraphs and compound-words, and enjoy a tongue-in-cheek reminder of when it was as simple as ABC! (song ? ?Pink For A Girl, Blue For A Boy?)As the family?s conversation draws to an end, Alice and James are filled with a new- found enthusiasm for going to school, and realise that thei

Out on the red carpet Ollie Berry and Chrissie Pressie are with an excited crowd of fans who?ve come to see their favourite Christmas ?stars? arrive. Which of these stars will win the ?Cracker?, the prestigious award for ?Outstanding Contribution to Christmas??Will it be the faithful Christmas cards, who keep everyone in touch with each other over the festive season (Song ? ?Send Me On My Way?)? Perhaps it will be Santa and his jolly helpers, who deliver all those presents to ?good? boys and girls (Song ? ?Boogie Woogie Santa?). Although it?s not shown up in recent years maybe Snow will walk away with the award (Song ? ?Why Won?t It Snow ??).

She tells us a wondrous story of a baby, born in a stable (Song ? Silent Night?). After hearing this tale everyone agrees there can only be one recipient of the award for ?Outstanding Contribution to Christmas?.The award is given to its rightful winner, whose acceptance speech recognises all the other stars? contributions to making every Christmas so special.

Andrew Oxspring: School Daze - 10th Anniversary Edition

End of year/leavers musical for 7-11 years (KS2)Running time 60 minutes approx.School Daze was Edgy Productions' first ever musical, released in January 2001. Over the years it has proved to be their most popular and best-selling end-of-year/leaver's production, but it's now showing its age! To mark its 10th anniversary it's had a complete makeover and, whilst still maintaining the charm and fun of the original, it now has extra brand new songs, a fresh and updated script and score, and re-recorded backing tracks. So, celebrate your children's time at school as we look back and laugh at those unique things that make it so special!Plot summaryThe year is 2075. Billy and Becky, two typical eleven-year-olds, are staying over at their grandparents? ?pod?, in the sheltered sector. Like all doting grandparents the old folks are keen to keep abreast of their grandchildren?s progress, and to gain an insight into their experiences of primary school ? or ?System A? as it is now known! Billy and Becky are also eager to learn of Grandma and Grandpa?s antics as they approached their teenage years, back in 2011. (song ? Old School Days)As the evening?s conversation wears on it becomes apparent that these children from the latter half of the 21st century are really no different to those who were leaving primary school back in the ?good old days?. Equally apparent is that some experiences of primary school span generations, and the truly noteworthy ones always involve larger-than-life characters and funny situations. Through a series of flashbacks, in the form of sketches and songs, we get an entertaining (if tongue-in-cheek) glimpse of the universal trials and tribulations involved in simply being young and going to school.For example, is it fair that teachers get to eat chocolate biscuits at break-time, while children make do with bits of fruit? (song ? Teachers Have It Easy) How can mums be made to understand that, now their children are getting older, they must not, under any circumstances, try to hold their hand on the way to school? (song ? A.T.T.I.T.U.D.E.) Does experimenting with makeup and hair-gel really improve ones appearance, especially when the skills of applying them haven?t quite been mastered yet? (song ? A Touch Of Lipstick) Will anyone ever develop a truly effective cure for a dose of nits? (song ? The Nits Blues) What?s the best way to get good SATs results without piling the pressure on? (song ? It?s Nearly Time To Take Your SATs) Who suffers most at parental consultations, and why do teachers choose to be ?economical? with the truth? (song ? Parental Consultation Evening) And who can forget desperately wanting to be grown-up, but having the feeling that maybe this is the best time of ones life, and every moment should be cherished? (song ? One Day At A Time).

Andrew Oxspring/Ian Faraday: Hansel And Gretel

All year round musical for 7-11 years (KS2)Running time 60 minutes approx.This all-year-round adaptation of this best-selling Christmas musical will bring the house down! Two abandoned children, the wickedest and funniest witch and step-mother you could imagine, a cottage with real 'chocolate-box' appeal, a flock of down-and-out birds, a gang of dim-witted bandits, and a whole lot more go into the mix for this lively and entertaining take on a classic tale.Plot summaryWe begin in the family's poor cottage, where Hansel, Gretel and their father ponder the possibility of running out of food! Their stepmother, on the other hand, can only moan that she needs a new fur coat, which she could have had if she'd done as her mother advised and married the wealthy Herbert Goldsworthy when she had the chance! (song - A Sorry Situation) When the children go to bed, she reveals to her husband a dastardly plan to take them deep into the forest and abandon them! (song - What A Wicked Woman) Having overheard this plan, as they are led far from the cottage the next day, Hansel and Gretel leave a trail of breadcrumbs which they intend to follow home.Tired from their long walk, and alone in the forest, the two children fall asleep. As they doze a flock of hungry birds enters, complaining about the lack of worms, the meagre titbits being left by humans these days, and how their only opportunity for a feed might be to ambush a squirrel! (song - Those Good Old Days) Noticing the breadcrumbs, however, they eat their fill, leaving the children no way of finding their way home!Next, Hansel and Gretel run into a bungling gang of robbers (song - Robbers' Tango), who spot the opportunity to kidnap the children and ransom them for cash! However, their wits are no match for Gretel's, and she and her brother make a comical escape. They run deeper into the forest, where things get a little creepier, and talking trees warn them that 'this is no place for children!' (song - This Bad, Bad Place).Finally, exhausted and hungry, the children stumble across an enchanting cottage (song - The Gingerbread House), built from every delicious confectionary imaginable. Encouraged by a curious group of goblins, they eat their fill, before being introduced to the owner of the cottage! At first this little old woman is welcoming, asking them to stay and rest, and eat as much as they can. However, she soon shows her true colours! Hansel is imprisoned while Gretel must 'force-feed' him in order to, as the old witch puts it, 'fatten him up' for the pot! (song - Better Than One Is Two).As the wicked woman makes final preparations for her big meal (song - Dinner At The Double), it's down to the brave Gretel to once again save the day. Using her cunning and daring she literally 'closes the lid' on the old woman's dining plans and escapes with her brother! After a joyful reunion with their father, the children deservedly celebrate with the biggest, party ever! (song - Finale).

Daisy Bond/Ian Faraday: Bethlehem's Buzzin'

Nativity musical for 4-7 years (KS1)Running time 45 minutes approx.This witty yet sensitive adaptation of the traditional nativity story is a delightful reminder of the true message of Christmas. Jacob, Rebecca and Samuel are three less-than-honest market stall holders, hoping to cash-in on the large number of visitors arriving in Bethlehem. Whilst giving it the ?hard sell? they encounter a tired couple on a donkey, a group of excitable shepherds and three mysterious visitors from the east, and are led to a lowly stable where they experience something that will change their lives forever!Plot summaryJacob, Rebecca and Samuel are stall-holders in Bethlehem?s busy, bustling market. However, always looking to make easy money, their way of doing business is a little less-than-honest! They shamelessly sell cheap and fake items, passing them off as genuine, quality goods!One day, lots of visitors arrive in town (song ? Bethlehem?s Buzzin?) and the three friends are eager to cash-in! Convinced they?ll be ?rolling in it? by the end of the day, (song ? Business Is Booming) they give it the hard sell! After a day?s record-breaking takings, just when they think it?s time to pack up, a tired man and woman (Mary and Joseph) approach Jacob, Rebecca and Samuel, (song ? A Long, Long Way) and ask if they know of a place to stay. Annoyed that the couple haven?t come to shop, the friends reply that they can lead them to a nearby inn, but will charge them to do so! As Mary is about to have a baby, they accept the offer and hand over what little money they have on arrival at the inn. However, it?s yet another dishonest trick. As the friends scarper with the money, Mary and Joseph discover there is no room at the inn, and the baby has to be born in a stable. (song ? A Baby Is Born Tonight)Back at their stall, about to pack up for the second time, Rebecca notices a bright light on the hillside. This is followed by the arrival of an excited group of shepherds, whom the three friends think have come to do some late-night shopping! However, to their disappointment, the shepherds tell them of a wondrous visit they?ve had by a host of angels, who?ve told them to come to Bethlehem (song ? Hurry Down The Hillside) to find a baby born in a stable. Guessing which stable they mean, the friends offer to lead the shepherds to it?for a price! The shepherds decline the offer, choosing instead to follow the star that the angels said would show them the way.About to pack up again, the stall-holders then notice three very distinguished-looking gentlemen, who look like they have a bit of money to spend! However, they are disappointed to hear that these visitors have also come looking for the baby (song ? Follow A Star), and not to part with their cash! Neither will they be taking up Jacob, Rebecca and Samuel?s ?kind? offer to lead them to the stable for a small fee, and they leave!Curious as to why all these people are so keen to visit this baby, the friends decide to go and see for themselves. On approaching the stable they are overwhelmed with a joyful feeling, and when they are invited to kneel by the manger something changes in their hearts forever! They recognise they have led dishonest lives, and promise to change for the sake of this baby boy. They stop cheating and swindling and instead set up a new business ? giving guided tours of Bethlehem to visitors, taking in al
