PLAY INFORMATION
Both plays are one act and will be performed Bouncers followed by Shakers after the interval.
At present rights for this production are pending and we are preparing a read through to understand levels of interest.
BOUNCERS - Cast: 4 M - playing ages 21 - 60
Bursting with imagination and wit and presented by just four actors, Bouncers is an outrageous and hilarious parody of the disco scene. The four brutish bouncers of the title portray over twenty different characters as we are invited for a night out on the town. We see them as giggly girls and lads on the make preparing for the big night out as we follow their progress to the disco floor. There, we also meet an entire cross-section of disco-goers, including Hooray Henrys, pogoing punks and drunken slobs! The evening’s events are set against the tatty glitzy glamour, flashing lights and pulsating beat of the nightclub scene. An exhilarating night out for all concerned.
Eric – Recently separated from his wife. Can be older than the other bouncers. Also plays Baz, Maureen and a Buxom Swede.
Les – Eager to get into fights. Hot-headed and temper runs high. Also plays Kev & Rosie
Judd – Wheeler and dealer sort of chap. Involved in petty theft. Also plays Barber, Hairdresser, Terry and Elaine.
Ralph – Calm and reflective one of the group. Also plays Jerry and Suzy, DJ and Nobby the Swedish Postman.
SHAKERS: 4F - playing ages 18 - 60
Every town has its local trendy cocktail bar where everyone wants to be seen, from the local check-out girls to the chinless wonders, from the yuppies to the local lads tittering at the thought of a `long comfortable screw’. We are given a wickedly funny glimpse of this world by the four long-suffering waitresses who work there. Rushed off their feet, underpaid and overworked, they try to smile and help the difficult customers whilst coping with their own personal problems. A fascinating and often hilarious view of the reality which lurks behind the plastic palms and the pina coladas.
Adele - The senior waitress and the leader of the group -a tough, no-nonsense woman who has worked at Shakers for years.
Carol - The most reserved of the waitresses, a single mother who is working to support her young daughter.
Mel - The wild one of the group. She is outgoing and fun-loving, and she enjoys flirting with the customers.
Nicky - The youngest of the waitresses and the most innocent. She is new to the job and is still learning the ropes.
The girls all play various other characters.
General Character notes.
As these plays use multi-rolling and are character based, there is a necessity for creativity and use of physical comedy
As the plays are written by Godber, they should use northern accent where possible but this can be worked around.
