See How They Run

More about the book

A classic English farce, written (and set) in rural England in World War 2. Vicar's wife and former actress Penelope Toop is already disapproved of by village matriarch Miss Skillon. Things get worse when she is visited by Clive, a friend from the stage and now in the army, who finds himself having to borrow her husband's spare vicar's outfit. When an escaped German POW steal's the real vicar's clothes and another vicar and a bishop come to visit, the scene is set for a fast-paced farce of jealousy and mistaken identity, with a drunk and love-starved Miss Skillon adding to the confusion. It seems that only the teenage maid Ida can save the day.
