Autumn 2023 Production

On Tuesday we will begin rehearsals of Don’t Get Your Vicars In A Twist, having had to cancel our Spring production due to the sudden death of Tony Hiscock.

Tony’s son Adam will be taking on his role and we look to put on a great show, with Tony very much in our thoughts.

“Don’t Get Your Vicars in a twist” by Ann Gawthorpe & Lesley Bown and will be directed by John Furse.

We last performed this production back in 2011 and it was such a success we decided to do it again! Everyone loves a good farce!

It will be performed at The West Monkton Village Hall on Thursday 26, Friday 27 & Saturday 28 October 2023. Curtain up at 7:30pm sharp!

Play Synopsis

Set in 1993, the first year that women priests were ordained. The vicarage is empty whilst waiting for a new vicar to take up residence so the Churchwarden, George, takes the opportunity to make some money by renting it out for a murder mystery weekend. However, Bishop Herbert, determined to have the first parish with a female vicar, has appointed Caroline Timberlake. Fortunately, Caroline decides to attend a college reunion so George’s plans can go ahead. But events take a turn for the worse when Bishop Herbert decides to visit his new vicar. Actors, guests and church dignitaries create total confusion as George tries to salvage the weekend – and get paid!
