Rehearsals have started in earnest for the Twenty Club's November production of Blackadder Goes Forth.
The last in the series of four, it is set in World War One and has a host of well-loved characters, spearheaded by Blackadder and his ever-loyal servant Baldrick.
With a very talented, dedicated and hardworking cast, some roles are being reprised by the same people as in previous productions but there are plenty of new faces to welcome, too.
Life in the trenches is hard, it's dangerous and Blackadder is busy devising ways of finding himself a safe job well away from the front line, going so far as to attempt to join the Royal Flying Corps.
Another attempt to dodge the bullets has Blackadder volunteering to organise and oversee a proposed concert in London., roping in Lieutenant George as the star turn - with dire consequences.
The final episode of four, Goodbyee, touches on the stark reality of war, a poignant end to a truly memorable run of Blackadder.
Early bird tickets are on sale throughout September for the bargain price of £10.
The production team is hard at work on all aspects of staging this ambitious play, spearheaded by new director Naomi Riley.
As an accomplished set designer and builder, Naomi says she is relishing the challenge of bringing all these colourful characters to life.
Tickets are available online or from Courtyard Books and The Oggie Shop.
The show runs feast from November 12-15, including a matinee on the 15th.
