Following the Athenaeum Limelight Players’ amazing 2012 success with The Vicar of Dibley, they have decided to continue the story for Christmas 2014.

The original production, written for the amateur stage by Ian Gower and Paul Carpenter, told of the arrival of the Rev Geraldine Granger in Dibley to a very mixed reception: now A Vicar of Dibley Christmas, The Second Coming takes up with Hugo and Alice’s return from honeymoon, Radio Dibley and a Christmas nativity which produces more than is expected.

The cast is the same except for Hugo Horton and Letitia Cropley, who have joined an enthusiastic and talented company, and everyone is hoping for another sellout show.

The production runs from December 4-6 including a Saturday matinee, with a charity preview night on December 3 in aid of the Wessex MS Centre. Tickets are available now from the theatre.
