They’re frightfully proper, sombre and stern, with terribly stiff upper lips. They’ll dust down your decorum, straighten your backbone, and sort out your p’s from your q’s!

The premise of The Temperance Society act is restraint from fun & frivolity, and a return to Victorian values & decorum – all done with tongue firmly wedged in cheek. The characters are passionate campaigners bestowing the fruits of temperance & moderate behaviour on all and sundry. They have pledges to be signed, tracts to be read, advice on etiquette and deportment, and apparatus to ascertain the extent of ones moral turpitude.
