The Nutcracker - a Play for Christmas

Christmas Eve is the most magical night of the year, when the house is scented with wood smoke and spices, and there are secrets under every bed! Snow whispers down like feathers and every child waits, breathless, for the curtain to rise on Christmas Day . . .

For one little girl, Christmas Eve is more magical than any before. When the clock strikes midnight, her new nutcracker doll comes to life and leads her through battle with the wicked Mouse King and his troops, all the way to the Kingdom of Sweets

Adapted from the traditional story and using a mixture of popular music, carols and Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, this play is perfect for Christmas plays, pageants and assemblies. It includes both speaking and non-speaking parts so the whole class can participate. Guaranteed to make your audience smile.
