An Isle of Wight drama group is planning a special Christmas performance in aid of the refugee crisis.

West Wight Christian Drama group, which consists of parishioners from both St Saviour’s Catholic Church and Christ Church Anglican church, decided that this Christmas, they would pen ‘Peace on Earth’, an original play inspired by the Nativity Story.

Proceeds of the play will be donated to aid agency CAFOD’s refugee appeal, which is going to help provide vital food and cold weather supplies to refugee families across the world this Christmas.

The performances, which will be held in Christ Church, Church Hall, Totland Bay, on 21 December at 2:30pm and on 22 December at 7pm, have largely been organised by James Malia who is both the production director and producer.
