Martin Freeman is Mr. Maddens, a frustrated, under-achieving primary school teacher. His long time adversary Gordon Shakespeare (Jason Watkins) teaches at the posh independent school up the road.
Every year the two schools are embroiled in a bitter rivalry to achieve a 5-star review from the local paper for their nativity play.
Maddens’ class always comes runner up - the story of his life. Goaded by his rival’s arrogance, Maddens makes an idle boast to Shakespeare that this year, his school’s show-stopping musical has attracted the attention of his ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Lore (Ashley Jensen) who happens to be a big time Hollywood producer. They want to make a movie starring his kids Hollywood is coming to Coventry!
Maddens suddenly finds himself a local celebrity, at the centre of quarrelling parents, dishonest teachers, and a mayhem of over-excited children and rampaging animals.
But as Coventry turns into Tinseltown, the big question remains Will Jennifer bring Hollywood to town to make all their dreams come true?
Nativity! is directed by Debbie Isitt and will be released everywhere in the UK and Ireland by E1 Entertainment on November 27
