Exeter Little Theatre Company brings to the stage the comedy about the chaotic Christmas play staged by Reverend Geraldine Granger in Dibley.
Exeter Little Theatre Company are bringing The Vicar of Dibley to the Barnfield Theatre this December, with performances running from Tuesday 1 December to Saturday 5 December. It's a stage adaptation of the original TV series written by Richard Curtis and Paul Mayhew-Archer, so it's the Dibley you remember: the chocolate-addicted Reverend Geraldine Granger and the eccentric village she's in charge of.
The story follows Geraldine as Christmas approaches and she decides to stage a Christmas play of her own. From there, it's the usual Dibley chaos: she auditions the locals, drags them through rehearsals, and finally puts it all on, with the result being the same-named The Greatest Nativity Ever Told (almost). It's a play within a play, so you get the village getting into character and the inevitable mishaps that come with it.
Mandy Doherty takes on the role of Geraldine, with Kate Stockman as Alice Horton, Matt Ridley as Hugo, David Hill as David Horton, Jack Winzer as Owen Newitt, Steve Bennellick as Jim Trott, and Tim Isaac as Frank Pickle. It's a full house of the village's most recognisable faces.

Exeter Little Theatre Company is putting it on, and they've been the city's home for theatre since 1954. They run as a theatrical charity focused on community, putting on more than three shows a year alongside monthly members' nights and a Youth Theatre Company. This is one of those productions that fits their community-led approach.
Tickets are £19.50 for Band A, with children under 16 at £17.50, and a £2.95 booking fee on all orders. The run goes from Tuesday 1 December through to Saturday 5 December, with the final performance on Saturday afternoon at 14:30.
