Shakers
Written by John Godber and Jane Thornton
They are Carol, Adele, Nicky and Mel, mix a Pina Colada or serve you a San Miguel. They have ambitions and dreams and would like to go far but their working as waitresses in a cocktail bar!
Welcome to Shakers - for service with a smile, even if the waitresses are shaken and probably stirred! Underpaid, overworked and rushed off their feet we see through their eyes, a variety of characters propping up the bar and out for a night on the tiles.
Written by award winning writing team John Godber and Jane Thornton, this hilarious faced paced comedy promises to have you laughing out loud!

Men of the World
Written by John Godber
Join Stick, Frank and Happy Larry (two men and a woman!) as they embark on another coach journey down the Rhine Valley....these long suffering drivers have seen it all and done it all; so as they lead towards the Channel Tunnel with thirty old age pensioners in Paris, search for lost teeth in Koblenz and witness love affairs in Boppard...and after a four-day ‘Umpah' party they make the long journey back.
Funny, sad and cinematic you'll be amazed as Stick, Frank and Happy Larry play many of the pensioners in a total evocation of a bus trip.
Touching, funny and provoking comedy written by one of the nation's leading comedy playwrights who has written over 50 plays in total.
Toured to great success in 2002.

Me & Me Dad
Written by Nick Lane
A story of friendship, fish pie and flick-to-kick football
Andy Green's dad needs a recipe for toast. He thinks that tortilla fought King Kong and that Tiramisu played midfield for Brazil in the 1974 World Cup.
In short, he's rubbish. Good at Subbuteo; hopeless with spaghetti.
So when Andy's mum dies, Andy does the decent thing- he takes a month off work and moves back home with his dad to teach him how to cook. Fighting memories- and occasionally each other- and risking the sanity of friends and neighbours, not to mention Andy's new girlfriend, the pair boil pans, set grills on fire and worse in an attempt to prevent a diet of pickled beetroot and jam sandwiches (not necessarily in that order).
Can their relationship survive? Or is this is one kitchen nightmare even Gordon Ramsay couldn't fix?
A brand new bittersweet comedy from the writer of My Favourite Summer ("Blissfully funny"- Daily Telegraph) and Blue Cross Xmas (****- What's On Stage).
