The following characters are required to be filled for this production:

​

REVEREND GERALDINE GRANGER.

Geraldine is the bouncy, bubbly, curvy female Vicar of Dibley. She has a keen sense of moral correctness and will stand up for injustice; she also has a deep love of the people of Dibley despite their many flaws! She has an even greater love of chocolate and ice-cream... especially when upset or angered and she would love to find a male partner.

​

DAVID HORTON.

David is one of those people who enjoys being in charge and assumes he is: he might even be described as being a bit power-trippy. He's a pompous Cambridge educated, upper-class, millionaire and although divorced, an upholder of stern traditional family values especially his own. He longs for tradition, law and order and the status quo.

​​

ALICE TINKER.

Alice is a few sandwiches (and cakes, and pork pies, and sausage rolls...) short of a picnic. She has a heart of gold but doesn't understand many of the common issues of life, nor Geraldine's jokes. She's very sensitive and easily upset - but too thick and vague to be easily offended! More amusing and key to the plot of the show is the way she's also easily confused, and has a vivid imagination surrounding what's normal (such as Teletubbie bridesmaids and pageboys).

​​​

HUGO HORTON.

Poor Hugo is the veritable puppet of his controlling father. He was brought up only by David for the majority of his childhood, and it becomes quickly apparent that that upbringing was emotionally abusive. He aims to avoid conflict, and always aims to please, and does not know how to express his feelings towards Alice.​

​​

FRANK PICKLE.

Frank is very "English" in appearance: highly eccentric in both manner and dress, and outstandingly well-spoken. However, whilst he speaks exceptionally well linguistically, most of the Dibley inhabitants wish he would speak a little - no - a lot less, and has been known to bore people to sleep when he speaks! As Clerk of the Parish Council, he's keen to take minutes as accurately as possible, but has a habit of dithering about the finer detail of things, such as whether to minute someone saying nothing, so the minutes end up taking twice as long to record as the meeting itself!

​

JIM TROTT.

Jim has a very unfortunate stutter, insofar as he precedes almost every statement with "No, no, no, no, no...". Needless to say the other residents find this annoying, timeconsuming and confusing when trying to gain a straight answer from him! This aside, Jim spends a lot of time generally dithering anyway and so rarely manages to achieve much. Jim has a great interest in sex and can turn any conversation towards it.

​

OWEN NEWITT.

Owen is the local farmer. He regularly suffers with gastric health complaints and describes these in disgustingly graphic detail. He's a bachelor with broad tastes... he often hints at both desiring after and having had previous relationships with animals, as well as women. Like many of the other male residents of the village, he lusts after Geraldine.

​

LETITIA CROPLEY.

Letitia is a very caring lady who longs to provide nourishing refreshment and sustenance to her close friends and neighbours, and ensures the church is full of attractive flower arrangements during Sunday worship.

​​​

BISHOP OF MULBERRY (ACT ONE ONLY).

The Bishop is loud and is a old school friend of David's, but works out that David is in love with Geraldine very quickly. Has to be very close to the same age as David.

​

SOCIAL WORKER (ACT ONE ONLY).

Tasked with inspecting Garaldine's suitability to run a creche.​ Ditzy and Alice-like.
