Following their hugely successful 2017 production of The Vicar of Dibley, Project Play are returning with yet another side-splitting classic ‘Allo ‘Allo….
The group says, “Rehearsals for the forthcoming comedy Allo Allo are well under way and the Frome cast are really enjoying this hilarious stage version of the popular TV series. Coming to the Merlin Theatre next year, tickets are already selling quickly.
“Based on the hugely successful British television series that ran for seven seasons, this uproarious comedy embraces the adventures of the hapless cafe owner, Rene, in occupied France. Featuring all of your favourite TV characters, including Rene’s tone-deaf wife Edith, Major-General von Klinkerhoffen and the Gestapo officer Herr Flick!
“He and his wife have stashed a priceless portrait stolen by the Nazis in a sausage in their cellar, where two British airmen are also hiding until the Resistance can repatriate them. Communications with London using the wireless that is disguised as a cockatoo add to the many embarrassments this intrepid proprietor endures in the company of his patrons. News that the Fuhrer is scheduled to visit the town inspires tricksters disguised as Hitler to frequent the cafe. Meanwhile Rene summons all the wit he can muster to save his cafe and his life.
“Featuring a very special message from the original BBC TV series’ “Yvette”, in the form of Vicki Michelle, the whole experience will be simply un-missable!!
“The humour and script in this production is very similar to that of the TV series. (Some dialogue may be considered unsuitable for younger children).
“Project Play is a community project which tours plays in different venues using local casts, Allo Allo will be performed at Frome, Yeovil and Wimborne.”
‘Allo ‘Allo will be at the Merlin Theatre, Frome, frome 23rd -27th April
Tickets are available via the box office or online www.merlintheatre.co.uk
