Entertaining Angels by Richard Everett
“Like an Ayckbourn play finished by J.M.Barrie” THE SUNDAY TIMES. After so many years of being the dutiful and busy vicar’s wife Grace is now bereft of husband, home and job. She’s always been feisty -not your typical clergy wife at all – and now she’s relishing her newfound freedom to say and do what she likes. But the return of her eccentric missionary sister Ruth brings disturbing revelations that force Grace to confront her husband’s ghost – and the truth of her marriage. Everyone has shocks and secrets – but throughout, the laughter constantly bubbles up.
Set in a classic English vicarage garden complete with a grass-banked stream and willow, the play is filled with sharp-edged comedy and probing wit.
“Entertaining Angels” began life by opening the main 2006 season at The Chichester Festival Theatre, playing to a record-breaking 26,000 people in just over 3 weeks. There followed a sell-out UK national tour playing to over 100,000 people.
The play has just celebrated its 200th production and we are delighted that the playwright, Richard Everett will be giving a Q+A following the Friday performance on Friday 29th November.
ENTERTAINING ? MOST DEFINITELY.
