When a reverend disapproves of his daughter's suitor, he
manipulates the church in an effort to discourage their union and
find a more favorable partner. It is a drastic decision that
effects those inside and outside of the congregation. Rev. William
Barlow is the leader of a Low Church, where his curate is a pompous
young man named Henry Sandford. Despite his brash persona, Henry
and Barlow's daughter, Dorothy, have fallen in love. Barlow
disapproves of the union and makes a sudden shift from Low Church
to High Church, infuriating Henry. The young man resigns, making
Dorothy available to Tommy Merton, whom her father considers a more
suitable match. Barlow's meddling leaves the church in disarray
with multiple members reeling from the fallout. This comic opera
debuted in 1882 but didn't find its audience until nearly a decade
later. With the story, Grundy and Solomon deliver a warning about
the dangers of good intentions. The Vicar of Bray proves that every
man, regardless of their station, is flawed. With an eye-catching
new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of
The Vicar of Bray is both modern and readable.
