The BBC’s hit
comedy series The Vicar of Dibley takes to the Rangiora Town Hall this
summer in a fantastic theatrical adaptation, and I had the lucky opportunity to
get a sneak preview.
The play takes the
form of three acts, each containing one of the most-loved of the series’
episodes. The first is “The Arrival”
where we, and the members of Dibley parish, get to meet Ang Reeves’ humourous
incarnation of Dawn French’s classic character, the Reverend Geraldine Granger,
“a babe with a bob cut and a magnificent bosom”.
