There Goes the Bride is "a fiendishly clever farce that gets madder and funnier as it goes along", says a spokesperson.

Conney and Chapman have enjoyed extensive and diverse careers in the theatre, spanning writing, directing and acting.

They have written the highly successful farces Not Now Darling, Move Over Mrs Markham, My Giddy Aunt and There Goes the Bride.

Individually they also have many successes to their credit.

When harassed advertising executive Timothy, played by Dave Blaker, hits his head on the morning of his daughter's society wedding, he awakes to find himself in the company of Polly, played by Gail Phillips, a 1920s flapper girl straight out of his current advertising campaign.

It soon becomes all too clear that no-one else can see or hear her, and when another bump on the head transports Timothy back to 1926 and the Savoy Hotel, the wedding preparations disintegrate into chaos.

Friends and family attempt to lead Timothy back to reality and his daughter down the aisle before the newly arrived in-laws abandon the wedding.

The other performers are Pauline Closier as Timothy's long-suffering wife, Harriet Stent as his daughter, Mike Vincer and Maureen Mercer as his father and mother in-law, Charles Weston as his oldest friend and business partner, and Jonathan Jeeves as the father of the groom.

There Goes the Bride can be seen in the village hall next Thursday to Saturday, at 7.30pm.
