Divine comedy from Dibley

Pull up a pew for a night of divine comedy as Peterborough Operatic and Dramatic Society invite you to join The Vicar of Dibley for a very special show.

Adapted from the original BBC TV series by Richard Curtis and Paul Mayhew-Archer, Peterborough Operatic and Dramatic Society (PODS) present the stage play of The Vicar of Dibley.

Following the society’s smash hit musical Dirty Rotten Scoundrels in March, PODS now tell the story of Geraldine Granger who has been appointed the new Vicar in the village of Dibley.

However, being a larger than life lady Vicar who doesn’t mince her words and has a chest to impress, she isn’t quite what the locals were expecting. A night of pure indulgence for all Dibley fans – and with lots of laughs for those who’ve never seen it before – you’ll be pleased to hear the stage play packs in all the best moments from across the series.

There will be lots of farcical parish meetings, ridiculous village politics, lard and fish paste sandwiches from Mrs Cropley, marriage proposals that should and shouldn’t happen, and even a Tellytubby wedding!

And what’s more, all the characters we love are back together again.

There’s inappropriate Owen Newitt, dithering ‘no, no, no, no’ Jim Trott, the pedantically boring Frank Pickle and the culinary challenged Mrs Cropley, headed up by the pompous David Horton, his put-upon son Hugo and completely in her own little world, Alice Tinker.

So grab your dog collars and save your seat in the Dibley parish meeting by booking your ticket before they all go.

The Vicar of Dibley is at The Key Theatre Studio from September 25 to 29 at 7.30pm with a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm.

Tickets are £15 and can be purchased directly from the Key Theatre box office, by calling 01733207239 or by visiting vivacity.org/ whatson
