Whether they’re battling the Germans or their own incompetence, the Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard are never far from a disaster in this classic wartime comedy.
Original writers Jimmy Perry and David Croft adapt their beloved BBC sitcom for the stage, bringing together three hilarious episodes:
The Deadly Attachment: The platoon are instructed to guard a captive U-boat crew. Are they up to the job?
Mum’s Army: The Home Guard are recruiting women, and there’s a brief encounter in store!
The Godiva Affair: The platoon rehearse their Morris dancing routine to raise money for the local Spitfire fund!
All of the well-loved characters are present and correct, from the pompous Captain Mainwaring (Steve Robertson) and his effacing deputy Sergeant Wilson, to “stupid boy” Pike and “don't panic" Jones!

And there might be a bit of whiffling in there too!
DAD’S ARMY runs from Tuesday 23 to Saturday 27 April on the Main Stage.
Tickets are available from the People’s Theatre Box Office on 0191 265 5020 (option 2) and online at www.peoplestheatre.co.uk
