EDITORS COMMENTS
This heartwarming print captures a special moment in Longhorsley, as schoolchildren perform a nativity play written by renowned North East playwright Cecil Taylor in 1977. Despite his plays being performed in prestigious cities like London, Edinburgh, and Oxford, Taylor penned this particular piece for the village's brownie pack. Among the talented young performers was his own daughter Cathryn, who was just eight years old at the time. The image transports us back to that magical evening on December 22nd, 1977. The stage is adorned with festive decorations as eager children bring to life the timeless story of Christmas. Dressed in their adorable costumes, they embody Mary and Joseph, shepherds and angels - all playing their part with enthusiasm and innocence. This photograph not only showcases the talent of these young actors but also highlights the importance of community traditions during the holiday season. It reminds us of simpler times when small villages came together to celebrate Christmas through heartfelt performances like this one. As we admire this snapshot from decades ago, it serves as a reminder that even accomplished playwrights find joy in creating intimate productions for their loved ones close to home. This cherished memory captured by NCJ allows us to relive a beautiful moment where creativity and family intersected within the warmth of Longhorsley's tight-knit community.
