To Hell in a Handbag

The Secret Lives of Canon Chasuble and Miss Prism

OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Helen Norton  Jonathan White 

  • Setting

    July 1895. The Garden at the Manor House, Woolton and The Rectory, Woolton.

  • Synopsis

    While others are preoccupied with cucumber sandwiches and railway cloakrooms, two minor characters from The Importance of Being Earnest are up to their necks in something else. A country rector and a governess, models of Victorian propriety in public. But in private? This is the play behind the play: a tale of blackmail, false identity - and money.
