Episodes from the classic comedy series adapted for the stage.
Dad’s Army
For those familiar with the famous long-running hilarious comedy show ‘Dad’s Army’, which follows an intrepid group of men – and the odd woman – left to defend the home fires during World War 2, this production should need no introduction: we are all familiar with the determination of the Home Guard of Walmington-on-Sea, from the domineering Mainwaring to the hapless Pike. For their Christmas show the Apollo Players present three episodes of the TV comedy adapted for the stage, along with a short sketch written for a Royal Variety Performance – there may even be a Christmas song thrown in …
This production has very kindly been sponsored by Roger Dixcey, a local, family-run building business with a reputation for providing an honest and reliable Island-wide service at competitive prices.
