'ALLO, 'ALLO!... a wacky wartime farce
 
The Marble Valley players under the direction of Martin Bones 
presented 'ALLO, 'ALLO!... a wacky wartime farce by Jeremy Lloyd and  
David Croft. This stage adaptation of their hit BBC TV series has  
had great success where ever it has been staged due to their skilled  
and well crafted writing.  Their particularly English sense of humour  
is embodied in the shape of the many hilarious characters. Led, of  
course, by the long suffering cafe owner Rene,( Martin Bones),  who has a chaotic  
existence trying to balance living with his wife Edith, placating the  
occupying Germans to avoid being shot, hiding English pilots, meeting  
the demands of the ruthless resistance and all the time trying to get  
his hands on the two waitresses without getting caught by Edith(Carol Ann Martin).  
A valuable stolen painting and it's forgery, both hidden in sausages,
are being harboured by Rene and sought by the German officers and the  
Gestapo to name but a few  ... but which is which? There are many  
other hilarious characters to complicate things even further!
