Laughter at Escalating Chaos in the Vicarage
As vicars go, the Rev Arthur Humphrey is probably the antithesis of everything expected from a man of the cloth, selfish, forgetful, greedy and obsesed with his stomach.
Ian Sandell delivers a laugh-out-loud performance in Dereham Operatic Society's production of "I'll Get My Man" bringing a mixture of confusion and childish glee to the role of the wayward vicar.
He inhabits a world of raving eccentrics, constantly henpecked by his prim and prissy sister Harriette Humphrey (Val Harrington-Lofthouse) and terrified of the formidable Mrs Winifred Barrington Locke (Marea Smithson)
The cast turns in accomplished performances, offering a blend of finely tuned comic timing and pithy one-liners.
By the end you really do feel sorry for the poor Rev Humphrey who wants nothing more than a woman to cook him a square meal but ends up inviting anarchy into the vicarage.
The audience lauged throught the performance and seemed to apprecite the comedy of errors and the ever-escalating chaos. If you want a good chuckle then the sharp script and comedic talents of the cast will not leave you disappointed.
