Bouncers, Theatre Review. St. Helens Theatre Royal.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Simon O’Brien, Neville Cann, Benjamin Engelen, John F. Doull.

There are many sides to a city or town but the main difference is between its day time appearance, perhaps full of shoppers, workers and casual visitors and then its late time manifestation, its night life where the rules of the day go out the window and out comes the darker side of drink, drugs and wild abandonment in which we all try to forget the menace of the day.  Voiced by some of the inhabitants of the night, John Godber’s Bouncers is not only a knock out look at some of the funnier aspects of this time of day but perhaps the best kind of social comment that gets too often neglected.

John Godber’s International Hit, Bouncers, Comes To The St. Helens Theatre Royal.

Regal Entertainments bring St. Helens Theatre Royal another of their critically acclaimed productions this June when a refreshed and revived version of Bouncers; the hilarious international hit comedy by John Godber takes to the stage. Bouncers: The Remix is set in the present day and will transport audiences into that famous Pontefract nightclub Mr Cinders and a tale of high hopes, dented dreams and late-night kebabs with from Wednesday 26th to Sunday 30th June.
