Beloved sitcom 'Allo, Allo' at Torch Theatre, Milford Haven
New Xenon presents this uproarious comedy, featuring the misadventures of cafe owner Rene in occupied France.
Audiences can expect to see all their favourite characters, including Rene's tone-deaf wife Edith, Officer Crabtree, and the Gestapo officer Herr Flick, among others.
The production promises to deliver slapstick humour and over-the-top situations that fans of the television series will adore.
Rene and Edith find themselves in a comical predicament, having hidden a priceless portrait stolen by the Nazis in a sausage in their cellar, where two British airmen are also hiding.
The chaos escalates as they use a wireless disguised as a cockatoo to communicate with London, while tricksters disguised as Hitler frequent the cafe in anticipation of the Führer's visit.
Rene must summon all his wit to save his café and his life.
Allison Butler, the Director and also playing Michelle of the Resistance, expressed her excitement: "We're thrilled to bring this hilarious show to the Torch as our maiden production for New Xenon Theatre Company.
"The cast members really are doing a wonderful job of bringing all the characters to life and we're looking forward to welcoming you to Café Rene!"
Jordan Dickin, who plays Officer Crabtree, added: "Rehearsals have been an absolute blast, and it's a joy to embody such an iconic character.
"Listen very carefully, I will say this only once…make it a Good Moaning and buy your tickets before they disappear like phantoms into the night!"
Tickets for 'Allo, Allo' are priced at £18, with £16 concessions available for the Thursday performance only.
The shows will take place on Thursday, June 19 at 7.30pm, Friday, June 20 at 7.30pm, and Saturday, June 21 at 2.30pm and 7.30pm.
Tickets are available for purchase through the Torch Theatre Box Office by calling 01646 695267.
