“Listen very carefully. I will say this only once ………..”

After another sell-out Panto in January, Barton Theatre Company returns to The Lowry in May with ‘Allo ‘Allo by Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft

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

All your favourite TV characters are there 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 a wireless 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.
