Notes: One set, the living room of a suburban house.

Synopsis: Lorraine's son, Ross, is on trial, accused of murdering his two year old daughter. The world has judged him guilty and only Lorraine believes he is innocent. Day One of the trial has been horrendous, with the prosecution's opening speech making him seem like the devil incarnate. Afterwards, she escapes the press by going to her mother's home. When Lorraine's estranged daughter, Petra arrives to see her grandmother, tensions between her and Lorraine surface. Petra wants to be a child minder and her prospects are damaged by the press coverage of Ross' trial. She wants him to plead guilty and minimize the damage caused to his family, which of course, Lorraine opposes. As they argue, the truth about what really happened to the little girl finally begins to emerge, and is not what anyone expects.

Notes: A Christian play written for the Hope 2008 initiative

Synopsis: The Mayor of Muddleby, William Green, wants to make money by helping the developer, Claude Deville, buy the town Church, which has no congregation and seems surplus to requirements. Green doesn't know that Claude is really the devil, and not only does he want the Church, he wants Green's soul as well. Green is scheduled to die in six months, and if he dies without turning to God, he becomes Claude's. Things start to go wrong when Joe Ketchall comes at the new vicar. Joe is keen and eager for revival. Worse, he's praying for Green. Claude sends his best operative, Evelyn to ensure Green does not change sides. He also sends a trainee, Harry. Harry is young and mischievous, somewhat an innocent abroad; Evelyn calls him more of a hindrance than a help. But it is imperative to Claude that Harry damns at least one soul as soon as possible. Will Green fall foul of Claude's plans, or will he be saved by the power of Joe's prayers? Will revival happen or will the empty Church die? And why is Claude so keen for Harry to damn someone?

Zedekiah tries to stay with some travelers and their camels but they are keen to go to Bethlehem and see the new king. Zedekiah has just finished telling them he came from Bethlehem and he didn't notice any king, when the star comes from behind a cloud and leads the travelers on. Intrigued, Zedekiah follows, and finally finds his way to the stable.
