Stephen Fry, Henry Goodman, Stephen Mangan, Juliet Stevenson, et al. Set for Star Child December 5

Stephen Fry, Henry Goodman, Stephen Mangan, the Marquez Brothers, Natascha McElhone, Bill Paterson, Maggie Steed, Juliet Stevenson, Catherine Tate and Olivia Williams will appear in Patrick Barlow’s Star Child, to be offered at the Almeida Theatre on December 5 at 7pm. Playwright Barlow will direct the performance, which will serve as a benefit for The Art Room.

The play is a modern variant on the traditional story of the Nativity, where the holy star has gone missing and the cast of characters has been expanded to include a talking donkey, an over-excited midwife, three wise women and a shepherd with an angel-obsession.

The Art Room offers art as therapy to children and young people aged 5-16 who may be at risk of exclusion from school.
