Welcome to Our World

by: Chloe Axford

These three interwoven monologues tell the Christmas story from the point of view of a shepherd, a king and an angel. The drama is based on Luke 2:8-20 and Matthew 2:1-12 and aims to bring out the contemporary themes of economic uncertainty, difficult relationships, celebrity culture and the search for meaning in life.

For inspiration, or to use in your church, watch a video of these monologues below, directed by Chloe.

We used this for Christmas Eve. Instead of having readers or actors in the front of the church, we had the readers stationed in the back of the church reading. It was very effective!

Thanks for this wonderful reflective drama - we will be using with our youth group this Christmas....thanks for all your creativity in making the Christmas story so relevant and up to date.

used this in our Carol service. Done by three of our young people it worked well; a good summary of the Christmas story in a way which people warmed to, it got a laugh or two as well. Excellent.

We are interested in using the video during our church service this year. I have been able to view the video but am unable to download and view it again.

Trish - are you having trouble downloading from Vimeo? At what point does it not work? You'll need to give me more details, especially as this is for a site outside of our control.
