Play Season: The Tart and the Vicar's Wife

Monday 28th September - Saturday 3rd October 2009

Ian Dickens Productions present the revival of the smash hit comedy ‘The Tart and the Vicar’s Wife’ not seen on tour since 1980’s starring LINDA ARMSTRONG Irish nursing nun Sister Brigid in The Royal on ITV, which is now in its eighth season. She is joined by MATT HEALY, best known for his role of bad boy Matthew King in Emmerdale, SARAH JANE BUCKLEY (crazy Kathy Barnes in the hit channel 4 soap Hollyoaks) and Brookside regular MARCUS HUTTON (Nathan Cuddington).

 

Glenda and her husband Robert Parry were the archetypal successful couple- him an affluent businessman, her, the glam ‘exec’ wife with all the trappings of wealth, until Robert decides to devote his life to God and become a vicar after being delivered unscathed from an horrendous car crash.

 

Glenda consequently finds herself thrust into a complete transformation, struggling to make ends meet and dealing with her new identity crisis.

 

When Robert leaves for a four-week seminar, Glenda turns to her friends for support, all of whom are in similar financial distress.

 

Then a millionaire lottery winner turns up in the village to seek the reverend’s help in exorcising his haunted manor house, he meets instead Glenda and her friends who end up baring their souls to him and discovering just how far they will go for money!

 

Whilst Robert is away the action is constantly interrupted by the appearance of the vicar’s curate, Henry, to great comic effect.

 

The Tart & the Vicar’s Wife is an hilarious evening’s entertainment intertwined with s topical ‘credit-crunch’ theme that will strike a chord everybody.
