*Show Description:*
The play is set in 1940’s England in the living room of the vicarage at the
fictitious village of Merton-cum-Middlewick.  Resident nosy-parker and
spinster, Miss Skillon, becomes convinced that her beloved vicar’s actress
wife is having an affair and attempts to expose her. Add a cockney maid who
has seen too many American movies, a desperate escaped German prisoner of
war, a handsome actor, a visiting reverand, a sedate Bishop aghast at all
these proceedings, and throw in some galloping in and out of doors; Chaos
ensues.


*Available Roles:*

   - *Rev. Lionel Toop* – 30’s-early 40’s. Formal, polite, pleasant, rather
   handsome, but not “drop dead” gorgeous.  Must be physically agile – will
   need to run, jump, etc.   British accent.



   - *Penelope Toop* -  mid 25 to 39.   American.   Vivacious, charming,
   attractive.    She lights up a room.  Moves, speaks, and reacts quickly.



   - *Corporal Clive Winton* – late 20’s to late 30’s.   American.   Rather
   dashing, with a devil-may-care attitude.  Agile.



   - *Ida, the maid* – 20-40’s.   Free-spirited, energetic, tell-it-like-it
   is maid. Does not suffer fools lightly but is loyal and playful enough to
   join in on the schemes.  Cockney or Irish accent preferred.



   - *Miss Skillon* – 30’s – 50’s. She is the nosy, snooty, town busybody
   and arbitrator of all that is “correct.”  Veddy, veddy British.   Must be
   adept at physical comedy, falling, staggering, getting “slapped” etc.




   - *The Man* – mid 30s or older.  Russian (East European) accent.
   Desperate, escaped Russian spy. Very mysterious.



   - *The Bishop of Lax* –50s or older.   British.   Penelope’s uncle.
   Proper British in the stodgy sense. Imposing, dignified, accustomed to
   getting his own way.   Must be somewhat agile.



   - *The Reverend Arthur Humphrey* – mid 40s or older.   British.   A
   visiting reverend.  A sweet, good-natured man, a tad timid. He is slightly
   (and not so slightly) befuddled most of the time.



   - *Sergeant Towers* – Late 20’s - 50’s.   A loud, blustery, bulldog of a
   sergeant. A take charge kind of guy.   Must have a Cockney (or Yorkshire)
   type accent.
