Synopsis
When Hugo and Alice return from their honeymoon, Alice finds she is putting on weight and
turns to the Vicar for advice. After coping with the village quiz and organizing the week of
Radio Dibley, Geraldine is desperately trying to bring the Dibley Parish Council to some
order. Just when things couldn’t get any more bizarre in Dibley, Geraldine is stunned when
Alice actually has a good idea. Why not put on a Nativity play? Why not indeed! What can
possibly go wrong?
A stage play adapted from the original TV series by Richard Curtis and Paul Mayhew-Archer.
