SYNOPSIS

As a Vicar’s wife, Grace has spent a lifetime on her best behaviour. Now, following the death of her husband, Bardolph, she is enjoying the new-found freedom to do and say exactly as she pleases. And she does! 

‘It’s like Songs of Praise on acid around here”  says Grace’s exasperated daughter Jo, in this bittersweet dramatic comedy. The arrival of Sarah, who is to replace Bardy as parish priest, coupled with the return of Grace’s eccentric missionary sister Ruth, alongside some disturbing revelations forces Grace to confront the truth of her marriage. Everyone has a secret to confess – but through the ensuing turbulence the comedy is never far away.
