London: Methuen, 2001. Fifth Impression. Original decorated wrappers. Slight wear to spine, covers & corners. Some pages towards end slightly warped by damp. ; xiii, 280 pages; John Godber is a prolific British playwright, best known for his sharp, often comedic portrayals of working-class life in Northern England. Born in 1956 in Yorkshire, he rose to prominence in the 1980s with a distinctive writing style that blends humour, pathos, and social commentary, often employing minimal staging and physical theatre techniques. His breakthrough play, Bouncers (1977) , remains one of the most frequently performed British plays, offering a fast-paced, satirical glimpse into nightclub culture through four male actors playing multiple roles. Other well-known works include Teechers, Up ’n’ Under, Shakers, and September in the Rain, all of which explore everyday lives with wit and warmth. Godber frequently writes about education, sport, class, and the gap between aspiration and reality. Many of his plays are written in a direct, accessible style and are popular with both professional and amateur companies. He was artistic director of Hull Truck Theatre for many years, where much of his work was first staged, and he has also written for television. Throughout his career, Godber has been credited with making theatre more relatable and entertaining for broad audiences, without sacrificing emotional depth or social relevance..
