Bouncers

BOUNCERS by John Godber is coming to the Shakespeare North Playhouse in February!

Northern touring theatre company, the John Godber Company is delighted to be bringing John Godber’s iconic northern play “Bouncers” to the Shakespeare North Playhouse in February after its 2023 sell-out tour!

“Lucky Eric, Judd, Les and Ralph are the original men in black as they tell the tale of one night in a Yorkshire disco in the 80’s in this outrageous parody of Saturday Night Fever! All the gang are out on the town, the boys, the girls, the cheesy DJ, the late-night kebab man, and the taxi home, all under the watchful eyes of the Bouncers.”

John Godber said: “We are delighted to be taking Bouncers back to the hey day of disco and the 1980’s. Looking back there was so much wrong with the decade but also so much to celebrate, this new production dances a balance between what was great and what is cringe-worthy now!”

The play is widely studied across GCSE/A Level and University syllabuses and has been regarded as a ‘social phenomenon’ by The Guardian. It’s one you don’t want to miss, especially this Valentines day!

The show features northern actors George Reid and Frazer Hammill, who are returning performers for the John Godber Company, as well as Liverpudlian Tom Whittaker.
