120 mins 1940s/WWII Room for Extras Unit Set/Multiple Settings Comedy

Synopsis

Based on the hugely successful British television series, which ran for seven seasons, this uproarious comedy relates the adventures of Rene, a hapless café owner in occupied France.

You can see all of your favorite TV characters in the flesh, including Rene’s tone-deaf wife Edith, Major-General von Klinkerhoffen and the Gestapo officer Herr Flick!

Rene 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 Führer 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 café and his life.

Press Reviews

"Good moaning. You stupid woman. Ze flashing knobs. I was just hanging up the knockwurst when I remembered all the happy times we had in ’ere. Yes, it’s ’Allo ’Allo! and it is coming back."

— The Guardian

"Listen very carefully, I will say this only once – you will revel in the latest stage production of the TV cult comedy classic ’Allo ’Allo! You won't be able to help yourselves."

— The Stage
