Weaving a tangled web

SET in the idyllic village of Mertoncum-Middlewick in 1941, a vicarage becomes a centre of chaos and confusion when the nosy resident spinster, Miss Skillon, becomes convinced that the wife of her beloved vicar is having a scandalous affair.

Desperate to expose the salacious relationship, a tangled web of deception and deceit is spun as a visiting bishop, locum priest and escaped prisoner of war all get caught in the race to reveal or conceal their outrageous indiscretion.

See How They Run by Philip King is directed by Danny Popkin.
