A Vicar of Dibley Christmas | Henry Lawson Theatre

We’re Back!!

Join the parishioners of the village of Dibley for a hilarious return season – the same quirky characters, but a whole new chapter in the story! We pick up where we left off last time – Hugo and Alice have now returned from their honeymoon with some extraordinary news. They quickly resume their simple but disorganised life in the parish, while the Vicar struggles to maintain order and bring some gravitas to the chaos. Based on two episodes from the popular TV series, we see Geraldine’s attempts (with the sometimes-misguided assistance of the parish council) to produce a radio program, and a nativity play –– with hysterical results!

Stage Whispers

It’s never easy directing – or acting in – a play based on a television series, especially when the characters are so well-known and quirky, and the play requires two sets used alternatively scene after scene! It works in film, but it’s darn hard in live theatre, especially when one character is required to move between scenes constantly!

Often when I have done shows I get to the end of the run and when I have enjoyed it the worst part is knowing that you will not have this experience again. You put all that work into developing your character and getting into the groove and then, blink it is over. I thought about this while watching A Vicar of Dibley Christmas: The Second Coming, performed by Henry Lawson. Having already seen and reviewed the first production, I have enjoyed seeing this performance which in many ways saw an elevation and in others changes that made the experience different.
