The Vicar of Dibley

About

Wivelsfield Little Theatre Returns!!

After an absence of nearly two and a half years WLT return to the stage of the newly re-built Wivelsfield Village Hall this March. And to celebrate their return their first production will be a stage version of the ever-popular Vicar of Dibley by Ian Gower and Paul Carpenter, adapted from the original TV series by Richard Curtis and Paul Mayhew-Archer.

It’s 1994 and an exciting time for the Church of England as the first women vicars are about to descend on their new parishes. But how will the sleepy village of Dibley come to terms with these seismic events? How will the Parish Council under the stern control of David Horton respond to their new vicar? Will everybody be finished off by yet another of Mrs Cropley’s strange and gastronomically ghastly recipes or will the ever dull Frank Pickle beat her to it? And finally will Alice and Hugo.....well, do something? More importantly will it be fun and entertaining? No, no, no, no, no, no …….YES!

Director Elizabeth Burton said “It’s particularly exciting that as a group of non-professional actors we have the opportunity to perform such a popular show. We’re also pleased that Richard Curtis is donating the licence fee to this year’s Comic Relief, and we’re delighted to be involved in this wonderful charity”.

The performance dates are the 16th – 19th March, doors open 7.00pm. Tickets are £9.50 and available via ticketsource.co.uk/wlt or by telephoning the Box Office on 07754 895936.
