"Fun from start to finish"

"A fabulously funny night out"
Review from The Arty Rabbit
Fresh from his in-house directorial debut with 'Shakers: Re-stirred' in 2015 Neil Scott brought the classic sitcom 'Allo Allo' to life in March 2017.
To say this production was a success would be an understatement. The superb cast and beautiful set recreated the magic of the TV series perfectly in a show that sold out its run at the Guildhall theatre and left audiences and critics alike delighted and rolling with laughter!
The success of the show was later recognised at the 2017 Eagle Awards when director Neil Scott won the Jo Davison Award For The Best Newcomer and Mathew Shepherd was presented with the Timothy Dalton Award For Best Performance In A Play.
