SYNOPSIS: 

The young organist of the village church is courting Nancy, the niece of Alderman Helliwell who doesn't think very much of the companionship and informs him that playing the organ is all that is required of him. It is with some glee that the organist informs them that he has discovered the parson was not qualified to marry couples and consequently the village's three staunchest and most respected couples are not married at all. The effect of the announcement is cataclysmic and smugness gives way to hilarious adventure.

BHTC NOTES: Sheila Wells remembers that Sheila Sharpless was paid to direct this special production, which celebrated the club's 25th year. However Nancy Forsdike (playing Clara Soppitt) remembers the production for different reasons, as she recorded in her scrapbook that she fell off the stage and broke her kneecap!

PLAYWRIGHT: John Boynton Priestley (1894 - 1984). 'When We Are Married' was first performed in 1938.
