We are delighted to announce that we are welcoming back Miles Eden (Director of Vicar of Dibley) to direct our next play – ‘Allo, ‘Allo.
Following on from the success of Vicar of Dibley, ‘Allo, ‘Allo is another iconic TV comedy gold which we are sure will go down really well with our audiences.
Many of you will be very familiar with this well known TV comedy but please don’t worry if you aren’t. We will be holding two read throughs in July where Miles will introduce the characters and let us know what he is looking for in each character and you will get the chance to read through the play.
A brief synopsis: Set in France, during World War II, Rene Artois runs a small cafe where Resistance fighters, Gestapo men, German Army officers and escaped Allied POWs interact daily, ignorant of one another’s true identity or presence, exasperating Rene!
Following the auditions held for our next production, ‘Allo ‘Allo, we are pleased to confirm that the cast will be as follows:
René Artois – Geoff Slaughter
Edith Artois – Tamasin Ellis
Yvette Carte-Blanche – Rebecca Norton
Mimi Labonq – Lizzy Hurley
Colonel Kurt von Strohm – Stuart Nash
Private Helga Geerhart – Chrissie White
Captain Alberto Bertorelli – Paul Gray
Herr Flick – Darren White
Michelle Dubois – Sophie Borrell
Officer Crabtree – Will Nash
Lieutenant Gruber – Tony Bevan
First Airman – Rob Hudd
Congratulations to everyone who has been cast!
There are some small roles still available in this play, including non-speaking roles for both men and women, and some roles for men which only have one or two lines. If you are interested, please contact Pippa or Eleanor via secretary.aods@gmail.com for more information.
