" On A Night Like This "

Recommended Posts

" Another Night Like This " by John Godber .

I received the new brochure today for the forthcoming season at Rotherham Civic Theatre , and the above play is on in February .

The publicity blurb states that it concerns a middle aged , middle class chap who gets in two decorators ...... who are party animals with a devotion to Northern Soul music .

Has anyone seen this play , or know anything about it ?

Haven't seen it, but John Godber is a well known and well respected playwright, most well known for Bouncers and Shakers in the 70s and 80s.

First performed in 2000 according to his website. I think the association with northern soul is incidental.

He used to write for Grange Hill as well :thumbup:

I saw this at the little theater Middlesbrough about ten or more years ago. They had local actors and mentioned local nights and faces. It was very good.

Top playwright

Well known locally and nationally

I remember the play from some Years ago...in fact remember DJ ing at Scarborough Spa...think it was an allnighter when he turned up with some of the dancers/actors who were to appear in the play

Would certainly recommend it...but don't take it seriously or get all upset if it's not historically spot on...not meant to be

I've lived in Rotherham most of my life. But I did have a valid reason for particularly recommending this play... :lol:
