Description

The story opens in the bright, airy morning‑room of the Deanery at St. Marvell’s, where the serenity of a genteel country parish is immediately undercut by a hint of mischief. The Very Rev. Augustin Jedd, a dignified dean accustomed to decorum, finds his orderly world on the brink of embarrassment when an indiscreet incident begins to swirl around his household. The stage is set for a classic farce, with the respectable veneer of the clergy ready to be tested by comic chaos.

Enter Salome, a striking young woman with a wild stare, and her sister Sheba, a petite, fair‑haired teen, both poised at the edge of the dean’s orderly life. Their presence, along with a colorful cast of officers, gentry, and servants, promises misunderstandings, secret schemes, and a parade of witty repartee. As the dean grapples with the unfolding scandal, listeners are treated to the delightful blend of genteel propriety and uproarious confusion that defines this timeless comic romp.
