A farce by English author Philip King.
Performed by STADS at St. Teilo's Church Hall, Bishopston on November 9th, 10th, 15th, 16th & 17th, 1984.
Synopsis
Peter, a famous television series hero, seeks refuge at a country rectory with his mild Uncle Humphrey from all the females who continually chase after him. Humphrey, horrified by the dismissal of his housekeeper by his formidable sister, advertises for a wife, but absent-mindedly omits the important word 'marriage'. Answers to the advertisement arrive by the sack-load and the arrival of the dignified Bishop of Lax adds to the hectic confusion.

It is with deep regret that we record the death of Mr Bill Payne, a founder member of our society. Bill was our first chairman and served in that capacity and many others for 15 years. A friend and enthusiastic member, we and the whole community will miss him greatly.
