🇲🇫 🧀 Our audiences have been absolutely loving their trip back to Café René — from Edith’s “unique” singing attempts to the Camembert‑fuelled chaos onstage.
The feedback this week has been wonderful, and we’re so grateful for every laugh, cheer, and kind word.

And now… it’s your last two chances to see ‘Allo ‘Allo 2: The Camembert Caper!

The cast and crew are buzzing, the café is in full comedic meltdown, and we’d love to share it with you before the doors close.

Rehearsals at Café René are in full swing, and one of our cast members has been very committed to practising their “slightly tipsy at the bar” moment.
René insists it’s all part of the script. We’re choosing to believe him.

With less than a week to go before opening night, the cast and crew are working incredibly hard — running scenes, fine‑tuning details, and bringing all the charm and chaos of wartime France back to life.

Join us next week for ‘Allo ‘Allo 2: The Camembert Caper!

📅10–13 June
📍The Dolman Theatre, Newport NP20 1HY.

'Allo 'Allo 2: The Camembert Caper

🗓️ 10–13 June
📍The Dolman Theatre, Newport NP20 1HY

Only one week to go before opening night! The cast and crew are working flat‑out behind the scenes — polishing props, perfecting accents, and making sure every laugh lands. The café is buzzing with excitement (and maybe a little Camembert).

Expect mischief, mayhem, and a generous helping of Camembert as we return to Café René for another round of wartime comedy!

🎭 Newport Playgoers Society presents… ‘Allo ‘Allo 2: The Camambert Caper! 🇫🇷🧀

Get ready for another round of outrageous accents, undercover chaos, and deliciously daft comedy at the Dolman Theatre!

From 10–13 June, René and the gang return for a farcical adventure packed with mistaken identities, secret missions, and more Camembert than is strictly advisable. If you loved the first one, you’ll adore this gloriously silly sequel.

📅 10–13 June
🎟️ Book now and secure your seat for an evening of pure comic mayhem - link in the comments.
