A FARCE “full of fun, frolics and lots of doors” opens at Studio Theatre on Friday.

Written by Ann Gawthorpe and Lesley Brown, Don’t Get Your Vicars in a Twist is being performed on Friday and Saturday, and October 19 to 24.

Talking about the comedic plot, director Sally Marshall said: “Desperate to find the funds to pay for his daughter’s wedding, church warden George Williams seizes the opportunity to rent out the vicarage while waiting for a new vicar to be appointed.

“The booking is to a touring theatre company, who are to stage a murder mystery weekend in which a female vicar and a bishop are among the cast.

“Unfortunately for George, a new female vicar is appointed to the vicarage before the murder mystery weekend can take place.”

Chaos ensues as the actors become wrongly identified as the real bishop and vicar, half the theatre company fails to make an appearance and the remainder spend most of their time either fighting with each other or getting drunk, or both.

Tickets are available from Salisbury Information Centre on 01722 342860.
