IF you find a saucy night of innocent fun with a laugh or two appealing then leave the children at home when you go to watch the Quaintwood Players perform a rendition of the television series 'Allo 'Allo.
Two of the sketches with adult humour include the stripping session with Helga and a scene with a blow up rubber doll of Hitler.

The story is very similar to the television script and written by the same people. Set in the Nazi-occupied French town of Nouvion in France during the war cafe René is the centre of all the action as it is where the Germans go. The French resistance use René Artois the owner to hide antiquities that they are trying to steal such as the portrait of the fallen Madonna with the big boobies by Van Clomp.

Hitler wants the picture for himself so he sends out a general to get it but then decides to go himself. Amongst the real picture which is hidden in knockworst sausages in the cafe are other fake copies which add to the plot. In retaliation the French resistance formed a plan to kill Hitler.

Half of the members of the Quaintwood Players are taking part in this performance whilst the others concentrate on the upcoming murder mystery which is a new one they have just taken on for this year called The Tangled Web and is written by Janet Kilgallon-Brook and Fiona Roberton.

Angela Hawes who has been a member of the group for ten years is directing and producing the play which will be on show at Quainton Memorial Hall and Grendon Underwood Village Hall four times in total this month.

The amateur drama group put on a series of about three performances every year for charity. This usually includes one play which could be a youth production, a pantomime for children and a murder mystery.

Ms Hawes said: "When we are not performing we are reading other plays and this one was particularly funny. The writing was really good it seemed a fun production to do. It was brought to us by a member.

"A lot of it is about the double entendres, there's a few with Helga. A lot of it is quite sexy and a lot of hugging going on with René. It picks fun at everyone from all nationalities including the British who are painted as being stupid. It makes light of a very difficult time."

Performances will be held on Friday and Saturday July 18-19 at Quainton Memorial Hall from 8pm. Doors open at 7.30pm and tickets cost £8.
