Nativity PlaysEvery year the little kids at schools all over get to put on a play. Often it's christmas themed, but the key thing is that everyone gets a part, whether it's Snowflake #12 or Mary or Grendel (yes, really).
Personally I played a 'Rich Husband' who refused to buy matches from some scabby street urchin. Never did see her again...
Who or what did you get to be? And what did you have to wear?

A fucking cloud.The only one of these I can recall and I think it mentally tainted me against any such future appearance on stage was in infant school aged about 5 or 6.
I was a cloud. In fact I think I was more like cloud number 4 or something.
We had to wear white tights (not a good look for a boy) and a sandwich board type thing cut in a typical cloud shape with cotton wool glued to it.
It seems our only part was for the small group of clouds to dance around in a circle on command. For reasons unknown I decided it was a bit like "ring of roses" so did the all fall down bit and due to the friction generated by early 80's nylon school cordoroy carpet got a graze on my knee. From that day on I hated stage appearances. I mean all that prep and fuss and waiting for 30 seconds of spinning in a circle and getting hurt.
A cloud for fucks sake!
