Shropshire Drama Company take comedy classic on tour

Shropshire Drama Company’s forthcoming production of John Godber’s comedy Bouncers goes out on tour next month.

It will be staged on Friday 13 June at The Assembly Rooms, Ludlow; Saturday 14 June at Montgomery Town Hall, Powys; Friday 20 June at Wem Town Hall and Saturday 21 June at The Hive, Shrewsbury

Set in a night club during the 1980s, Bouncers is a hilarious, fast-moving, raw and physical play about an evening on the town seen from the viewpoint of four men on the door – Lucky Eric, Judd, Les and Ralph. The men are at once themselves and then every character they happen to meet, whether they are boys looking to get lucky or girls looking to make do. Audiences will be transported back to the era of bright colours, shoulder pads, fingerless gloves, leg warmers and the very best in 80s’ pop music!

Actor-director Derek Willis said: “For the past two years we’ve taken SDC shows around the county and beyond. As a result, we’ve developed an excellent working relationship with a number of venues, so it’s great to return to some of them again with a fun production. And Bouncers really is fun! Anyone who has been to a night club, and even people who haven’t, will recognise some of the characters portrayed in John Godber’s excellent script.”

Performances of Bouncers start at 8pm and tickets are £12.50, available through the SDC website: https://shropshiredramacompany.co.uk

CAPTION:  Bouncers outside the fictitious Mr Cinders nightclub;- Ben Christie (Ralph), Derek Willis (Les), Tom Scott (Judd) and David Wright (Lucky Eric).
