The Producers - Mel Brooks’ outrageously comic musical - promises audiences a summer evening of searing satire from Pershore’s Operatic & Dramatic Society, otherwise known as PODS.

The hilarious plot centres around ill-fated theatre producer Max Bialystock (Paul Tapley) and accountant Leo Bloom (Steve Miller) who turn con men.

A spokesman said: “They scheme to produce the worst musical Broadway’s seen, get it financed and make off with the spoils before it inevitably flops.

“With “Springtime for Hitler” their choice of sure-fire loser, what could go wrong?”

But will it all be in the best possible taste?

The spokesman added: “The script – a serial offender against political correctness – combines satire with spectacle.

“From in-your-face dance sequences to laugh-out-loud songs

and slapstick, the show will be a joy, and all done in the best possible taste!”

So now we know.

Evening performances start at 7.30 p.m. from Monday June 10 to Saturday June 15.
