Show week  -  March the 7th 

Were biros available in war- time France? Maybe Rene with his Resistance contacts had a very early sample. Intelligence reports tell me, he was using one in last night’s performance. I think the Gestapo planted it. 

As the peripheral happenings of “Allo Allo” are now as entertaining as the side- splitting play, I will give you the latest. 

We had “The Spanish Inquisition”- translation- “Who’s that Spanish girl at the door?” Children banging on the café window during a touching scene, Rene as always was doing the touching.   

 

People were coming up with interesting suggestions of where the Knockwurst sausage could be placed as tempers flared briefly during a very energetic and emotive performance. 

The phone in the Colonels Office was seemingly switched to silent ring tone, (ok, maybe not in war-time France) he was entertaining Gruber and Captain Bertorelli so perhaps it was just good manners! 

We lost a couple of our shining lights, no the cast didn’t walk off, some bulbs blew and a frantic trip to Glasgow by Keith saved the day.   

 

Flick and Flic

But I thought...

 

Snippets from the Green Room aka Casa Rosa……… 

Reports of men in Nightshirts, a Hitler impersonator in Leather boots and moustachioed women in jumpsuits were likened to a Village people reunion.
Leclerc had to fly in his agent and a team of lawyers when the dried fruit and chocolates were replaced by Jammy Dodgers and bananas.
Officer Crabtree can now only speak in a dreadful French accent, and is subsequently barred from his favourite French Bistro for requesting “Soap de jar” and “Crum Brillo”

 

Will the real Michelle please stand up...

 

That is all for now as I have run out of Van de plonk and I reek of Garlic. My parrot is moulting, my candle wonky and my Moustache needs a touch up. Although tickets are all sold for our remaining performances, I may appear in another impenetrable disguise to tell you about our next production. Look out for the final letter from Leclerc very soon.
