A NEW female vicar in the form of the wonderful Rev Geraldine Granger is coming to shake up Dursley.

Dursley Operatic and Dramatic Society are performing the stage version of the much-loved TV sitcom, The Vicar of Dibley, between October 8 to 11 at the Lister Hall.

The play has been adapted from the original TV series written by Richard Curtis and Paul Mayhew-Archer that was a long-running hit for the BBC.

The play is a chance to relive the arrival of the new vicar Geraldine Granger, be a witness to Alice and Hugo’s hilarious wedding, and meet again the many eccentric inhabitants of the quiet village of Dibley such as Owen, Jim, Frank and Letitia.

All royalties from the play go to Comic Relief, which will also be the DODS charity of the year with collections at each performance throughout the 2014/15 season.

Tickets are available on 07890 203318, online at www.the-dods.com or email tickets@the-dods.com. Or to book in person, the Dursley Box Office opens at the Chantry Centre (Lister Hall) from September 22 on Monday, Friday and Saturdays between 9am to 12 noon.
