Why Did Godber Write Bouncers

In fact ‘Bouncers’ was originally inspired by Kiko’s in Pontefract, a Polynesian style night club with fake palm trees. “It’s a celebration of the fantastic Bacchanalian aspects of urban night life. Forget ‘Look Back in Anger’, let’s get out there – let’s get pissed up,” says Godber.

What is the purpose of the play bouncers?

The play creates a vivid picture of the relentless hedonism of northern night life with its raw energy, flashing disco lights, and raucous lads and lasses out on the town. This event can be booked only by telephone.

What did John Godber believe?
