One of Britain's best loved television sitcoms is about to hit the Hamilton stage in Playbox theatre's production of The Vicar of Dibley.
Set in a fictional Oxfordshire village, the comedy follows the hilarious relationships of the Reverend Geraldine Granger, councillor David Horton, Jim Trott, Owen Newitt, Frank Pickle, Hugo Horton and Alice Tinker.
The stage adaption is designed to reduce the audience to fits of laughter.
The setting is close to home for English actor Garry Snape who plays the part of David Horton.
Snape, who arrived in New Zealand eight years ago, worked as a professional actor in Britain and is personally familiar with the setting and the typical characters involved.
