Farcical Comedy: When We Are Married

Where? Wimborne

  • Farcical Comedy: When We Are Married

Wimborne Drama Productions present 'When We Are Married',
a farcical comedy by J.B. Priestley.

In the heart of Northern England, three respectable couples, married on the same day, at the same church, and by the same vicar, join to celebrate 25 years of blissful matrimony. Or so they think… The happy celebrations are brought to a sudden halt by a shocking revelation - these pillars of the community aren’t quite as respectably married as they thought they were!

As the home truths fly like confetti and conjugal rights turn to farcical fights, an evening of sparkling comic mayhem erupts.

With a photographer from the local paper due to arrive any second, a missing housekeeper and a doorbell that won’t stop ringing, can the three couples keep a lid on their embarrassing secret?

Penned in 1938 – and set in Edwardian Yorkshire – this is a classic comedy that is a blessed union of laughs and surprises. Directed by Richard Neal. This amateur production of When We Are Married is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.

Venue: Tivoli Theatre
