Raggedy King, The - By Veronica Clark
Product Description:
The genius of this deceptively simple musical is the way it shows how Jesus's birth turned everyone's expectations upside down - which everything about his life thereafter continued to do! A lovely nativity play for young children, with songs that are very appealing and easy to teach.
In the hills, David the shepherd boy practices playing his pipe - in anticipation of the coming of the great Messiah, who he imagines arriving complete with crown and flowing robes amid plenty of ceremony.
Angels arrive, with news that the Messiah has been born in Bethlehem - in a stable! David is not impressed! He is NOT going to play his pipe for a poor little 'Raggedy King' in a humble stable. But all the same, David goes to Bethlehem with the others. Will he be willing to play his pipe when he gets there?
