There’s still time to BOOK YOUR TICKETS for ‘ALLO ‘ALLO, which opens at the Boxmoor Playhouse on April 17th.
Spring is arriving cautiously this year and daffodils, crocuses and longer, lighter days are doing battle with the rain and gloom we have been living with for months. So it’s time to brave the weather and get down to the Playhouse, at 72, St John’s Road, where you can enjoy an evening of laughter and entertainment with a drink or an ice cream to keep you company – and without having to take out a second mortgage to do so!
Our next production is ‘ALLO ‘ALLO, which will be ON STAGE FROM APRIL 17 – 20, evenings at 7.45pm with a Saturday matinee at 2.30 pm. Tickets cost from £13 (concessions) to £18. You can call 0333 666 3366 or www.hhtheatreco.com to book.
“The play has got all the best things of the hugely successful British television series, which ran for seven seasons,” says director Iain Fowles. “It’s of its time but it’s hysterical. It’s suitable for 7 to 70 year-olds.”
Most of us are familiar with the plotline which revolves around French café owner, Rene, (played in this production by Lloyd Bronson) who is trying to do business during World War 2, despite complications from local German officers, the French resistance, two British airmen on the run, and the existence of a priceless painting of The Madonna With the Big Boobies, which most people (including Rene) want to own.
After ‘ALLO ‘ALLO comes the musical, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, scheduled for June 18 – 22. This is also in full rehearsal and I shall have more to say about it next month. In the meantime, take a look at our Mystery Pic, showing leading man Seymour (played by Lewis Harrison-Barker) holding – what?
Our SUMMER SCHOOL is from August 12 – 17, ending with a presentation of THE WIZARD OF OZ on August 17 and then it’s time for Shakespeare. MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, set at the end of World War One, will be on stage from September 18 – 21.
And then, guess what? It will be time for panto again!
