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.

It may be necessary to change the location of this performance depending on the progress of our upgrading works this year. Ticket holders will be advised by email if so.
