Tuesday 2nd to Saturday 6th December 2025 at Stantonbury Theatre, Milton Keynes

To get you into the festive mood, we are very excited to present a Christmas themed sitcom double bill…

‘The Vicar of Dibley – The Christmas lunch incident’

By popular demand we return to Dibley! It is Christmas in Dibley and the vicar, Geraldine Granger, finds that she has multiple invites for Christmas lunch. Will she survive the endless gourmet feasts without offending any of her loony parishioners? A stage adaptation by Steve Clark and Emma Dell based on the original TV series written by Richard Curtis and Paul Mayhew-Archer, produced by Tiger Aspect Productions.  By kind permission of United Agents and supporting Comic Relief.

‘Porridge – No way out’ – Written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais

We visit Norman Fletcher and the other lags of Slade prison as they face Christmas ‘inside’. An elaborate escape plan is underway – will they keep it hidden from Mackay and the other warders?  A stage play adapted from the original TV series written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais. This play is produced by special arrangement with Serious Comedy.
