Stone Revellers are heading for Maplins holiday camp for their next production as they perform the stage version of the hit BBC Comedy Hi-De-Hi!
It will be Yellowcoats at the ready from Tuesday 12th to Saturday 16th June at St Michael’s Hall in Lichfield Street – with a slap-up fish-and-chips supper included in the ticket price.
It’s the start of a new season and founder Joe Maplin announces that he is setting up a camp in the Bahamas. He needs female Yellow Coats to go and work out there and the annual Miss Yellow Coat competition will decide who is to go. Rivalry between the girls is fierce, with Sylvia and Gladys joint frontrunners to win the coveted yellow sash.
Camp cleaner Peggy, meanwhile, is thrilled at the prospect of a vacancy for a new Yellow Coat and convinces entertainments manager Jeffrey that she is the ideal candidate for the job. Ted is forced to employ numerous money-making schemes when his ex-wife turns up at the camp with a bailiff in tow and Yvonne and Barry Stuart-Hargreaves send the rumour mill into overdrive when they overhear Gladys escorting Jeffrey into his chalet late one evening.
