"See How They Run"

So you love a good laugh! Then you'd better book immediately for the farce Of the year. "See How They Run" to be presented at Wakefield early next month by the Wakefield Players. Somehow or other we managed to keep our camera from shaking as we laughed our way through these pictures earlier this month. And when you see it, you'll appreciate the problems we met. The action (and there's a ton of it) all takes place in the vicarage at Merton-cum Middlewick. There's an escaped German P.O.W. mixed up in it and a bishop who fits his role to perfection.

Sgt Towers has every reason to feel puzzled about the identity the real vicar - nobody else seems to know either

The bishop, needing a little something to stop his nerves jangling, is rudely interrupted by a rudely-clothed vicar brandishing a poker.
