Comedian and writer Fiona Frawley joins us to talk about the rite of passage for many Irish schoolchildren, The Nativity Play. Not Alan though, his school was run by lax Catholics who didn’t bother with nativities. We talked about the plot, the theme, the characters of the nativity but also jumped off into a wider talk about growing up in a Catholic school system in a decreasingly Catholic society. That’s right, we Juvenaliaed it.
