Godber Plays: 1 - Bouncers; Happy Families; Shakers

"John Godber is one of the unsung heroes of British theatre, reaching the giddy heights of number three in the most-performed playwrights league table, nestled in behind Shakespeare and Ayckbourn" - Guardian Bouncers, a play about nightlife: "A show that's worth braving any front of house, however formidable ...simply spellbinding" Guardian; Happy Families: "The inseparable contradictions of family love and oppression are carefully held in this fine comedy ...superb characterisation ...the rhythms of Godber's dialogue are freshly funny, the pace precise" (Independent); Shakers, a play about party-goers: "This is one of those slices of life that everyone can recognise and laugh at" Liverpool Daily Post
