He was greatly influenced by his time as a drama teacher, this is evident in his play. Wince at some, cringe at others, but above-all, laugh with our Bouncers and Shakers. North West and are based around working class characters. At rip-roaring speed, over two one-act plays, our eight actors employ physical and vocal humour to play multiple roles, giving you a glimpse into the lives of dozens of different characters. Written in the 1980s, and retaining all the 'charm' of that era, yet still every bit as relevant and relatable today, we present a back-to-back showing of John Godber and Jane Thornton's Bouncers and Shakers. The original versions of John Godber and Jane Thorntons classic comedies together in one volume.
Start the evening in the disco, where Ralph, Judd, Les and Lucky Eric, your friendly local Bouncers, will take you on a journey through the lives of the many and varied customers who enter through their well-managed doors.Īfter a brief interval, join waitresses, Nicki, Mel, Carol and Adele in oh-so trendy cocktail bar Shakers, and observe their portrayal of the people whose patronage both pays their bills and gives them aggro. The cast of four play over thirty characters in this re-imagined comedy.
It's time to let your 80s hair down and get ready for a big night out, with not one, but two Godber classics. Short Stop Productions are bringing John Godbers fast paced. Throughout Bouncers there is a constant flow of energy and charisma and I believe this is predominately to do with John Godbers stylisation of his plays.
