Our Latest Production

SHAKERS (Re-stirred)

by John Godber & Jane Thornton

The Cast of Shakers
At the risk of being accused of a "John Godber season" our next production is SHAKERS (Re-stirred). The enormous success of Shakers, written in 1984, prompted Godber, together with his wife Jane Thornton, to update the piece in 1991. This later version has the same four cocktail waitresses presenting an hilarious satire of the trendy wine bar scene and their 'trying to be trendy' customers. Everyone from the tired businessmen to the checkout girls and the local lads on the make. The lid is lifted to show a comic glimpse of the reality behind the potted palms and the Pina Coladas.

Touring from 30th October to 5th December 2009
