FAMDA’s staging of The Vicar of Dibley led into the Prom Coast Festival when the final performance became the opening attraction of the Festival.

The beloved British sitcom, The Vicar of Dibley, originally ran on BBC television between 1994 and 1998. Set in a fictional small village in Oxfordshire, the series told the tale of what happens when a female vicar is assigned to a rural parish. At first the village community is horrified however eventually they learn to accept her as she manoeuvres her way into the hearts of the parishioners and the local community.
The play has all the major characters from the television series. These quirky village characters have become much loved, prompting FAMDA’s decision to stage this iconic comedy.
