Synopsis
Glenda and her husband Robert Parry were the archetypal successful couple- him an affluent businessman, her the glam ‘exec’ wife with all the trappings of wealth, until Robert decides to devote his life to God and become a vicar after being delivered unscathed from an horrendous car crash. Glenda consequently finds herself thrust into a complete transformation, struggling to make ends meet and dealing with her new identity crisis. When Robert leaves for a four-week seminar, Glenda turns to her friends for support, all of whom are in similar financial distress. Whilst Robert is away the action is constantly interrupted by the appearance of the vicar’s curate, Henry, to great comic effect. When a millionaire lottery winner turns up in the village to seek the reverend’s help in exorcising his haunted manor house, he meets instead Glenda and her friends who end up baring their souls to him and discovering just how far they will go for money! The Tart and The Vicar’s Wife is an hilarious evening’s entertainment intertwined with s topical ‘credit-crunch’ theme that will strike a chord everybody.

Anne Morley-Priestman - 2 October 2009
There’s an interestingly serious comedy trying to escape from the farce trappings of Joan Shirley’s The Tart and the Vicar’s Wife. A woman has married her boss, hoping to compensate with a beautiful country house, a lavish life-style and intelligent children for the upbringing which is revealed quite late on in the play. Her problem is that he’s left his gleaming career as a top-executive in an international oil company, found God and taken orders.His Damascene conversion was the result of a horrendous car accident. Now he’s happy as a country parson, though still living in their own home rather than in the run-down vicarage. She desperate to keep the house which means so much to her and writes erotic stories under a pen-name to pay some of the bills. This is not to her husband’s taste, but he can’t really suggest any viable alternatives. When he goes away on a course, at least one way of making money (lots of money) presents itself through a back-packing America...
