Smash hit comedy Bouncers at the Theatre Royal next month
The international smash hit comedy Bouncers which tells the tales of a Yorkshire nightclub through the watchful eyes of its doormen is coming to the Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds, next month.
It is being staged from Monday to Wednesday, February 25 to 27, by the John Godber Company and Theatre Royal Wakefield.
Lucky Eric, Judd, Les and Ralph are back and telling the tales of Zoo! – a Yorkshire nightclub.
Of lads and lasses, sticky floors and shots galore, and the early morning taxi home.
Written by the multi award-winning John Godber, this modern classic will see the boys catapulted into the 21stcentury, with contemporary music and an updated script to boot.
Bouncers was originally written in 1977 and first produced at the Edinburgh Festival that same year, it has stood the test of time with many a famous face taking on the iconic script as well as schools across the country and beyond studying the piece.
The play features in the book Played in Britain: Modern Theatre in 100 Plays (commissioned by the V&A Museum in 2014) and it has won countless awards including seven Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle awards in 1986.
This new production features Frazer Hammill (Teechers; Macbeth) as Lucky Eric; Lamin Touray (Wuthering Heights; The Biscuits) as Ralph; Duncan Riches (The Memory Project; Twelfth Night) as Les; and Peter McMillan (Great Expectations; Emmerdale) as Judd. The actors all multi-role in true Godber style and portray not only the Bouncers but the girls and boys who are out on the town too.
