Suffolk theatre shows Farce

Aldeburgh Classic Theatre presents…

The ultimate English Farce, produced during the height of WWII.

In an idyllic English village, the resident busy-body is convinced that the ex-actress vicar’s wife is having an affair. Classic mistaken-identity mayhem follows, with a handsome visiting actor, a baffled Bishop, a clueless locum priest, an escapee German POW, banging doors, missing trousers, and a madcap chase with almost everyone claiming to be the real vicar.

On the West End opening night, three German flying bombs exploded nearby. No-one budged until the final curtain. 1940s Brits really did “Keep Calm and Carry On” – Laughing!

ALDEBURGH JUBILEE HALL
