Classic Farce
SEE HOW THEY RUN! By Philip King
Matthews Hall, Topsham 25-28 November 2025
This classic comedy is set in a small English village, Merton-cum-Middlewick, at the end of the Second World War. At the centre of the action is the Reverend Lionel Toop, his wife Penelope, a former actress, Clive a fellow actor from Penelope’s past and a nosy parishioner Miss Skillon who draws certain conclusions… With the arrival of the Bishop of Lax and a German Prisoner of War disguised as a Vicar, mayhem ensues, in this otherwise sleepy backwater.
Director Leigh Steedman is preparing to launch into rehearsals towards the end of September - and this classic farce has to run like clockwork, so the cast expect to be working very hard indeed!
Estuary Players are always delighted to welcome new members.
