The film is produced by Nick Jones (Confetti) and will be shot entirely on location throughout the UK's West Midlands during a six week shoot. Martin Freeman is Mr Maddens, a frustrated, under-achieving, primary school teacher. His long time adversary, Gordon Shakespeare (Jason Watkins), is the teacher at the posh independent school up the road. Every year, the two schools are embroiled in a bitter rivalry to achieve a five-star review for their Christmas nativity play. Maddens' class always comes runner-up. The story of his life. This year, Maddens makes an idle boast to Shakespeare that his school's showstopping 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! When over-enthusiastic new classroom assistant, Mr Poppy (Marc Wootton), overhears the lie, Maddens suddenly finds himself a local celebrity and at the centre of quarrelling parents, a wannabe show director, and more Mary and Josephs than he can shake a stick at. Now all he needs to do is persuade Jennifer to make Hollywood pay attention and make their dreams come true.Isitt's Nativity is a sweet, heart-warming tale of how nothing can get in the way of the true spirit of Christmas.
