Directors notes
Back in the 60s we had a couple of years living in England in the
tiny village of Newport, Essex. I played soccer for the village,
learnt to handle a rope, and sang in the nearby church at
Saffron Walden, so I understand something of the huge history
and tradition behind the Church of England that chairman
David so cherishes.
A woman vicar would indeed be a shock:
New Zealand was well ahead of the UK in
this respect, as we were of course in
politics too in giving women the vote.
Were fortunate in having a number of ex
pats in the cast, so I hope youll find weve
caught something of the flavour of a very
English institution as we explore the clash
of personalities in the village of Dibley.

 Jane Burrage - Letitia: Jane continues to add to her impressive list of
roles at Titirangi, some more eccentric than others. Her last two
roles have both been in Roger Hall plays she especially enjoyed
kicking up her heels in A shortcut to happiness - but shes done
everything from sweeping the stage to playing one of the leads in
Lettice and Lovage.
Nicola Chapman - Geraldine, the Vicar: Back on stage after a
break running around after three children, Nicola celebrates her
third play at Titirangi after Social Climbers and As you like it.
Shes performed at Dolphin and Waiatarua too, but living local-
ly its nice to be back at Titirangi. She grew up in the UK watch-
ing Dawn French in a variety of shows, a bit of a heroine of
mine! With a degree in English and Drama from the University
of Winchester, shes relieved not having to practice and perfect
a foreign accent. "With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come"
Shakespeare
Ariel Hubbert - Alice: This is Ariels second show for Titirangi; she
featured in The Wyrd Sisters last year. Now firmly a westie, she
includes in her talents twirling with fire, a skill she learnt in
Turkey. Shes found it fun, and strangely rather soothing, to
spend the last few weeks in the mind of someone who forgot to
pay her brain bill. Like Alice she adores Dr Who, but draws the
line at Teletubbies: there any similarity ends.
Michael Allen - Owen: Michael reckons it was his Yorkshire born
mother who got him interested in acting. Whatever you do, son,
never consort with actors! They are a shiftless, idle lot given to
alcohol and immoral behaviour. Impossible to resist! - and
Titirangi patrons have rejoiced in his performances over a number
of years. He puts into practice the advice in his first UK play:
Keep the Director happy and you will go far! He says Owen is
firmly based on a neighbour in Stanford-in-the-Vale but he
hopes Ned is not reading this.

Mark Campbell - David: Mark has a long history of active, creative
work in the theatre, particularly in encouraging young people to
explore the arts. For several years he directed a team touring
schools in NZ, Fiji and Samoa. Comedy is his special love, both
monologues and sketches. He writes much of his own material, and
particularly likes developing quirky characters. His latest role was in
Elephants at Te Pou.
Peter Goodier - Jim: Peter qualifies as a veteran of Titirangi Theatre:
his first show for us was The Wild Goose Chase about 40 years ago in
Macandrew Hall, the original home of this group. Since then hes had
roles in about a dozen Titirangi plays, plus parts for Dolphin,
Playhouse, Waiatarua, and Waitemata, where he played multiple
roles in Lindsays production of The End of the Golden Weather.
Robin Lane - Hugo: Robin has been acting in amateur theatre since
the age of 5, although his debut didnt go to plan: he walked
directly off the stage into the orchestra pit! Since then hes played
a wide variety of roles on stage and screen from appearing on Jono
and Ben to playing Javert in Les Miserables. He returns to Titirangi
Theatre after making his New Zealand stage debut a few months
ago playing the Pantomime Dame at the theatre and is thrilled to
be playing the part of Hugo in this production.
Richard McFadgen - Frank: Richard is the sort of theatre person to
cherish: happy to be involved both on and off the stage. At Titirangi
hes been a quiet, valuable helper back stage in several productions,
as well as playing roles as Doctor Watson in Sherlock Holmes, the
Panto, Gripe (an ugly sister) in Cinderella, the Panto and John Clarke in
Calendar Girls. He also played several parts in the Wyrd Sisters.
Sally McGowan - A woman: Learning the ropes says Jim in this
play, and Sally says this applies to her too. Shes packed quite a lot
into her time with Titirangi Theatre, just over a year, with roles in
The Wyrd Sisters, last years panto, and now a cameo part in The
Vicar of Dibley. And shes been an invaluable PA to the director.
