Classic Farce
SEE HOW THEY RUN! By Philip King
Matthews Hall, Topsham 25-28 November 2025
Actors required – Come and join us!
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 looking for character actors to play the following roles:
The Reverend Arthur Humphrey: A shy and mild man who has arrived to take the Sunday service and is overwhelmed by the chaos which greets his arrival.
The Intruder: An escaped and desperate German POW, who disguises himself as a clergyman, just to add to the confusion.
If this is of interest to you, please email Leigh direct - leigh_steedman@hotmail.com, or contact us via the website topshamestuaryplayers.org.uk
