Daisy Bowie-Sell, What's On Stage, 2nd May 2017The school nativity play is always exciting/nerve-jangling, but in writer-director Debbie Isitt's lively, likeable comedy, expectations are ratcheted up a few notches when it seems a Hollywood producer will be coming. Martin Freeman, pre-Hollywood stardom, is the teacher struggling to cope with rising hysteria as the kids head for a terrific cathedral performance.

Screen Terrier, 27th October 2011And lo! Corny just got cute
Debbie Isitt's latest improvised comedy, following in the faltering footsteps of her Nasty Neighbours (2000) and Confetti (2006), is so atrocious that it might just find an audience.
