'Allo 'Allo
by Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft

20 - 25 May

Please Read This Carefully - We Shall Say It Only Once!

Based on the hugely popular TV comedy series, Erith Playhouse presented the stage version of 'Allo 'Allo by Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft.

Tony Bate as René with Nicola Bate as Mimi in his arms. They are overlooked by his wife Edith played by Jacqueline Vander Gucht.

The play follows the adventures of René, the hapless café owner in worn-torn occupied France, as he and his wife, Edith, struggle to keep for themselves a priceless portrait stolen by the Nazis and kept in a sausage in their cellar.

René is hiding two British airmen and is endeavouring, with the help of the Resistance, to repatriate them. However communications with London through a wireless set disguised as a cockatoo add to the many embarrassments he endures in the company of his patrons.

Matters come to a head when news breaks that the Fuhrer is planning to visit the town! René needs all the wit he can muster to save his café and his life.

Audiences loved this hilarious show and re-lived the magic of the TV series, the knockwurst sausages, the fallen Madonna's, and the classic phases such as "Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once"!
