| Synopsis: | Ha Ha Hitler! -an entire original that doesn't parody anything though punters are told that if they liked The Great Escape they'll love this. Certainly it is a wonderfully piece of silliness that is delivered with huge energy by a cast that knows just how to get an audience on its side. In 1942, in a very special POW camp in a France called Chateau Plonke, three RAF chaps who've been recaptured after 117 escapes are being particularly carefully guarded under the watchful eye of top German General von Schnitzershitz. They are Flight Lieutenant Hilary Luton (Andrew Fettes), Squadron Leader (though his uniform makes him a Corporal!) Tommy Bristol (Ben Langley who is also writer and director) and ex window-dresser Flying Officer Dick Ashton (Paul Taylor, who also plays Schnitershitz and is the fastest of quick change artistes!) who definitely bats for the other side - and I don't mean the Germans. The boys are aided and abetted by Lizzie Frances as Sophie Ce Soir, the only unexecuted survivor of the chateau's original owners. Langley greets the audience as they come in - latecomers get special attention - plays the ukulele and juggles, scene changes are played for applause, there are carols in the snow, a cabaret for the Luftwaffe and a special guest called Adolf, a shadow show Nazi torture, drag, chorus lines and lots of terrible jokes. .The audience are warned early on that 'If you want to get into it and enjoy yourselves - lower your standards!' - Howard Loxton, British Theatre Guide | |||||
