Synopsis: | The Rector of Stiffkey: Good Samaritan or Dirty Vicar? Following their sell-out tour and award winning Edinburgh run, the Company who gave you THE BITCHES BALL bring to life another famously forgotten character, the original 'dirty vicar' - The Rector of Stiffkey! The Missionary's Position is a flamboyant physical show in the style of the old Music Hall entertainments, with a full compliment of comic routines, eccentric double acts, saucy dances, and heart-warming songs with choruses you can sing along to. Only here, the actors are also telling the incredible true story of Reverend Harold Davidson, one of England's great eccentrics. Disgraced by the establishment for 'saving the souls' of Soho prostitutes, he protested his innocence throughout his trial and long after he was defrocked by the church for immoral behaviour. "You have to save their bodies before you can save their souls" Rev Harold Davidson. What happened to the woman who spoke against him, 17-year-old Barbara Harris? Why did the tap-dancing, cigar smoking Rector spend the rest of his life as a carnival sideshow? And what about his absurd and tragic end, mauled to death in public by Freddie the Lion during an act in a cage in Skegness? The answer to these and many other questions can be found in The Missionary's Position. Come and join us for fun, frolics and laughter through tears, as we recreate the spirit of the 1930's with our original Music Hall entertainment. Our very own MC will be hosting the proceedings, and audiences are encouraged to take the backstage tour before the action commences. . . | |||||
