Have you ever done a paint and sip where you are trying to recreate a work of art? I used to find them frustrating when I tried to copy the instructions exactly. Trying to do an exact imitation of something is always going to be hard. Trying to match every brush stroke will make you doubt your ability against a master. I then learned that when you go for an impression of the thing—the feel of it, the shape of it—but fill in the details with your own choices, it starts to feel more personal, more like you. That is the key to the success of Henry Lawson Theatre Inc's production of The Vicar of Dibley. A loving recreation of a beloved story, focusing on the feel and the rhythm of the comedy, reconstructing key features, but making something wholly their own.
