Unison Theatrical Choir Memorial Hall West Moors December 2004 In fact, all the ingredients of the season were there, so the evening began with an amusing, if slightly irreverent, ‘Nativity Play’, also featured a potted version of Aladdin and –naturally – gave the audience a chance to sing a few carols. Along the way – and a colourful way it was too, with numerous effective costume changes – we were treated to such delights as the Skaters’ Waltz, stories of Norway and France at Christmas, a tale of a giraffe’s Christmas stocking and part of Dylan Thomas’ A Child’s Christmas in Wales. And the carols – Hawaiian, American, German, Czech, Barbadian and more – were a really pleasant change from the usual seasonal fare. Oh, and then there was the fat little robin that rushed through the auditorium searching for crumbs, a lesson in being kind to turkeys and an ex-pat’s thoughts on why Christmas is better in England than in Spain. Well, I bet they don’t have concerts like this in Spain, for a start. Linda Kirkman Courtesy of the Bournemouth Daily Echo
