A celebration of the extraordinary event that took place 100 years ago, on 22nd December 1926, when an ambitious BBC producer attempted the live broadcast of a nativity play, performed by the people of St Hilary.
Improvising with batteries, roving microphones, a wire strung across hedgerows and fields, and the telephone of a nearby farmhouse, he brought the voices of a small Cornish village live into homes across the nation and made broadcasting history.
Miracle Theatre invites you to join them, together with Truro Cathedral Choir, children from St Hilary school and the Centre for Blended Realities & Falmouth University teams to enjoy an immersive, candle-lit experience, recreating the atmosphere, innovation and excitement of that historic night.
