THERE will be trouble in the holiday camp as summer draws to a close for Sutton’s Green Hut Theatre Company this weekend.
The Sutton theatre group will recreate the shenanigans in a Butlins-style camp during the late 1950s as they revive popular 1980's sitcom Hi-De-Hi.
There will be romantic intrigue, financial chicanery and dreams of stardom for the mismatched members of the entertainment staff.
The group first turned Sutton Village Hall into the Maplins camp almost a decade ago and it was so successful they are staging the comedy again.
The Yellowcoats will mingle with the punters, and as well as a sit-down supper the audience will be able to join in with the Knobbly Knees contest and Glamorous Grandmother competition.
But most of the laughter will be on stage in a play stitched together from two or three episodes of the successful series.
The original show, filmed on a real holiday camp, was written by Dad’s Army creators Jimmy Perry and David Croft and ran for several years.
Hi-De-Hi will be performed in Sutton Village Hall at 7.15pm tomorrow and Saturday. Call 01535 632289 to book tickets.
