Bradford Theatres’ autumn season opens with a production of John Godber’s hit comedy Bouncers, directed by the playwright himself.

Starring Ace Bhatti, Don Gilet, William Ilkley and Ian Reddington, the play is set in and around a northern nightclub, with the action focusing on the exploits of the four doormen and assorted revellers. Godber creates a vivid picture of the relentless hedonism of city night life with its raw energy, flashing disco lights, and raucous lads and lasses out on the town.

The story follows Bouncers Les, Judd, Ralph and Lucky Eric as they prepare for another night, another crowd. Lads are on the pull, girls are on the razzle and the beer and alco-pops are flowing free. Slow dancing and snogging, chips and late-night kebabs – and the Bouncers see it all.

Bouncers runs at the Alhambra from September 12 to 15 September. For tickets ring (01274) 432000. The production contains strong language and scenes of a sexual nature. The recommended audience age is 16-plus.
