Main character Richard Bucket, Hyacinth's husband, does not appear in the production, but is frequently referred to: Hyacinth addresses him off stage and talks to him on the phone. The main plot of the show revolves around Emmet directing a play at the local village hall, but when Hyacinth is cast in the play's leading role, disaster is in the making.

This adaptation, directed by playwright Johnny Culver, made its American premiere in [[New York City]] in March 2015, at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church Theater Fellowship/Jones Auditorium.<ref>{{cite web| title=Keeping Up Appearances| url=http://www.theaterscene.net/plays/keeping-up-appearances/archive/| website=theaterscene.net| date=12 March 2015| access-date=9 October 2022}}</ref> Culver directed an additional production of this adaptation with performances on 5 August 2017 and 6 August 2017 at [[St. Luke's Episcopal Church (Queens)|Saint Luke's Episcopal Church]] in [[Forest Hills, Queens|Forest Hills]], [[Queens]].
