The Vicar of Dibley
Monday 5th August to Saturday 17th August 2019
‘No, no, no… yes!’ In sleepy Dibley not much has changed since Domesday. The Parish Council minutes are meticulously recorded, even though no one will ever read them. All is about to change. Geraldine Granger, the one-woman Crusade, sets the village on its heels with her joyous take on religion and humanity. Frank and Jim are in awe; Roger just wants to see the Vicar unfrocked; David Houghton is outraged, while Hugo is so lovelorn that only Alice can curate. Leticia knits into oblivion and spreads her sandwiches. Anyone for a raspberry jam and sardine bap?!

Murder on the Nile by Agatha Christie
A Murder Mystery! A cruise down the Nile on a river paddle steamer sounds like the perfect way to get away from it all - a retreat miles from civilisation. But the tranquil warm darksness of an Egyptian evening can change quickly when the air is thick with hot passions and cold malice. Termperatures rise when a passenger is shot, and Canon Pennefather must abandon the mysteries of ancialt Egypt and focus on deadlier matters.
