Hi De Hi by Paul Carpenter, Ian Gower, David Croft, Jimmy Perry

Director's notes:

A stage adaptation of the hugely popular British TV series which revisits the 1950s and Maplins Holiday Camp with its host of colourful characters.

It's the start of a new season, and founder Joe Maplin announces that he is building a camp in the Bahamas. He needs a female yellowcoat (entertainer) to go and work there. The annual "Miss Yellowcoat" competition will decide who will be that lucky person.

Camp cleaner Peggy is thrilled at the prospect of a vacancy for a new Yellocoat and convinces Entertainments Manager Jeffrey that she is the ideal candidate for the job.  Meanwhile camp comedian Ted is forced to employ numerous money-making schemes when his ex wife turns up at the camp with a bailiff in tow.

And Gladys is overheard escorting Jeffrey into his chalet late one evening.....   Hi-de-Hi, campers!

Felicity Brown, Director


"Now, don't forget to be in the canteen early for your evening meal. Our Cordon Blue chef has conjured up for you spaghetti bolognese. With chips. Mmmm...! Scrumptious!"
