THE DEAN OF INIQUITY

15-16 May 2013

with thanks to Jonathon Yates

Something very different took place at the Pinder Hall on Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th May when The Dean of Iniquity (or The Confessions of a Parish Constable) featured Sex, Lies and Highwaymen in local playwright’s musical play based on the diaries of Cookham Parish Constable William Gibbins. Jonathan Yates imagined how the inhabitants of 19th century Cookham might have responded to their sins and crimes being made public. Is there anyone without sin? The characters from Cookham’s history were played by stars of the local stage and concert platform.
