Poor old Artaban! He is the fourth Wise Man and is late for everything. Many times, Artaban’s journey is delayed as he stops to help the poor, hungry and oppressed. In spite of missing Mary, Joseph and the baby, his disappointment turn to joy when he realises that he did see Jesus in the many folk he helped along the way.
Twin themes of sharing and caring combine in this lively and touching humorous Christmas musical for Key Stage 2.
