Based on the beloved British sitcom by Roy Clarke, Keeping Up Appearances – The Stage Play brings the hilarious world of Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced ‘Bouquet’) to life in a brand-new script written especially for the theatre.

Set in a modest church hall, this comedy-of-manners follows the ever-pretentious Hyacinth as she throws herself into two cultural events: a local art exhibition (featuring her own amateur painting, Willows by Moonlight) and an amateur dramatic society’s production still searching for a leading lady. Naturally, Hyacinth is determined to claim the most prestigious rôle – that of Lady Melvern – much to the horror of her long-suffering neighbour and reluctant director, Emmet.

As chaos unfolds, audiences are treated to appearances by Hyacinth’s eccentric family – including the slobbish Onslow, sensual Rose, and droll Daisy – as well as quirky newcomers like the tech-savvy Milly, the formidable Mrs Debden, and a bewildered revolving door of mistaken artists.

A heartwarming and riotous look at British social climbing, family dysfunction, and theatrical ambition, this stage adaptation is a delightful homage to a cultural classic.
