Dad's Army by Jimmy Perry

The classic BC TV comedy series of the Home Guard of Walmington-on-Sea who battle daily against the Germans and local ARP Warden Hodges, comes to the stage complete with all the well-loved characters: stupid boy Pike, Don't panic, don't panic Jonesey, Doomed, we're all doomed Fraser, May I be excused, sir? Godfrey, and all under the command of the redoubtable Captain Mainwaring and his effacing deputy Sergeant Wilson. Also included in the volume is the Floral Dance Sketch. The plays may be presented together as an evening's entertainment or separately. If presented separately individual fee codes will apply. Please see the individual play entries for details.
