‘Allo ‘Allo 2: Camembert Capers

‘Allo ‘Allo 2: Camembert Capers is a lively and joyful follow-up to the much-loved stage adaptation of the classic TV series. While not quite as witty as the original script, it retains the trademark double entendres, slapstick humour and enthusiastic farcical energy that the audience expects.

The Wraysbury Players delivered a highly enjoyable performance, underpinned by an infectious community spirit. The production cleverly overcame the limitations of space within the village hall, with impressive set design and smooth scene changes. The audience was treated to a fun-filled evening complete with a well-executed raffle, enthusiastic performances, and particular highlights such as the hilariously chaotic cancan routine at the end of Act One.

There were some minor technical issues and occasional moments where lines were lost, which affected pacing at times. A general observation for future productions would be a focus on more consistent accent work and sharper line delivery to sustain the rhythm crucial to farcical comedy. Nevertheless, the commitment and warmth from the cast and crew shone through and made for a delightful evening.
