THE FORGOTTEN CAROLS
|
|
| |
A straight-laced nurse is assigned
to care for an elderly patient who has a few "psychological problems";
He calls himself "Uncle John" and believes he's been alive
for 2,000 years and has actually met people from the Christmas story
that have been "forgotten," i.e. the innkeeper that turned
Joseph and Mary away; the shepherd who fell asleep and missed everything
and others. He's chronicled his encounters with a collection of "forgotten
carols"
which he sings as he hangs the ornaments he's collected over the centuries
that accompany each unique Christmas song. If only these songs could
touch the part of his nurse's heart that she has long since forgotten.
The sold out tour sells over 50,000 tickets each holiday season.
