Richard Everett's sharp-edged comedy, Entertaining Angels, is a 'very English comedy'.
As a vicar's wife, Grace has spent a lifetime on her best behaviour. Now, following the death of her husband, Bardolph, and whilst contemplating her years of duty and devotion to him and his work, she finds enjoyment in her new-found freedom to do and say exactly as she pleases.
The return of her eccentric missionary sister, Ruth, home to support her in her hour of need, however soon forces her to confront the truth of her marriage during their inevitable sisterly bickerings. The tales of grief, regret, lack of communication within a family and long buried secrets soon surface - adultery, miscarriage, divorce and deception are emotional subjects all warmly handled and delivered with well-received jokes in this probingly witty comedy.
".........what is the point of it all? Can God be trusted to do anything right or is the whole thing a divine exercise in trial and error.............?"
Entertaining Angels runs at the Wilmslow Green Room from May 9th - 16th 2015. Tickets, priced £9 and £7 for Green Room members, can be booked online or via the Green Room Box Office on 01625 540933. For further information, please visit www.wgrsoc.org.uk.
