Written and first performed during WW2, King chose a quintessentially English setting – a country vicarage. Stock characters such as the daft maid, the teetotal spinster, and the pompous bishop are all unapologetically represented with brio, and deliver what the theatre critic, Michael Billington, called a piece “capable of transforming a preposterous situation into spiralling ecstasy.”

Expect bunting, All Clear sirens, the Andrews Sisters, vicars and mistaken identities.
