Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....

This evening we went firstly to Anne's for a delightful pre-theatre supper and then on to the Barons' Theatre at Chateau Lambousa.

This evenings performance by the Theatre Lambousa group was set in occupied France during the Second World War. You will all remember the well known TV show set in Rene's cafe in the village of Nouvien. This was hilarious stuff with Edith doing her off key singing to entertain the customers, note the earplugs and a super performance by photos/2010/03/6.htm">Helga and Herr Flick, especially the scene with the booby trapped suspender belt. In almost every scene it is I, Le Clerc popped up in some ridiculous disguise, on this occasion as a parrot salesman. Crabtree, the not so good French speaking policeman, also gave a super performance and here we see Rene with Crabtree trying to hide the sausage with the portrait of the Madonna with the big boobies. This was side split-tingly funny. Later we were entertained with the bedroom scene were Edith was caked in cabbage leaves, cucumber, cold cream and hair rollers in an unsuccessful attempt to interest Rene in her beauty. In the final scene we had too many Adolfs all scheming to get their hands on the valuable portrait.

The whole evening was absolutely hilarious and we all will be laughing at the antics and the jokes for some time to come. Jan Marsh the producer and the entire cast are to be congratulated on a very professional performance.
