It's the Christmas story as you've never experienced before! Follow the Light (book, music and lyrics by Nick Choo) is a quirky, contemporary, "non-religious rock reinvention" of the most famous story in the world, told through 21 original songs that range from pop & rock to punk & emotive ballad.

Produced and performed by some of PerthÂ’s finest young talent including Dave Bowyer, Anne-Marie Manuel, James Harley and Cameron Ryan and backed by a 12-piece classic-rock ensemble, Follow the Light retells the story of the birth of Christ in a fresh, non-preachy and rockin' new way, aimed at youths, young adults and the young-at-heart regardless of faith or creed.

A smooth-talking angel tells a young woman that she is going to have a baby; a fraz­zled carpenter contemplates the prospect of unexpected fatherhood; a disgruntled trio of shepherds awaits for some­thing exciting to rid them of the drud­ge­ry of count­ing sheep; and three self-involved Wise Dudes pon­der the concepts of fame, fortune and glo­ry – as they all embark on a journey to­wards a destination far beyond their wildest imaginings...

Performances will be staged at Nexus Theatre on Murdoch Uni­ver­si­ty’s South Street Campus at 8pm on Nov 23-25 (Wed-Fri), and at 12:30pm & 8pm on Nov 26 (Sat).

Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for aged 15 and under, and $45 for a family of two adults and two children. For bookings, please call 0434 963 934.
