12th to 16th November 2024 at Stantonbury Theatre, Milton Keynes
Following the sell out success of our previous visits to Dibley (Vicar of Dibley in 2012, and The Vicar of Dibley – the Second Coming in 2013 and The Vicar of Dibley 3 – The Holy Trinity in 2018), we returned to Dibley once more!
Vicar Geraldine Granger is approaching a milestone birthday and the parishioners gift her an evening of speed dating to find love. Though she is unsuccessful in her search there, a new arrival in the village soon catches her attention. Is there a mutual spark of attraction there?
Will Geraldine finally get to walk down the aisle or will the other quirky inhabitants of Dibley mess things up for her? Will there be a holy wholly happy ending?
A stage play adapted from the original TV series written by Richard Curtis and Paul Mayhew-Archer, by MKTOC’s very own Steve Clark. By kind permission of Richard Curtis and Tiger Aspect Production and supporting Comic Relief. An amateur production to professional standards.
We reunited our talented cast from previous visits to Dibley for this show. The script includes innuendo and mild swearing but not enough to stop it being shown on TV on a Sunday afternoon!
Our generous audiences donated just under £900 through the raffle and programme donations which we have rounded up to £1,000 for our chosen charity, Coppafeel (breast cancer awareness).
The script for this production is available for other groups to perform, by arrangement with United Agents. Please email Steve for more information and a copy of the script.
