Congleton Players are treading the boards at the Daneside Theatre in Congleton this week with a revival of the John Godber comedy “Bouncers”.
“Bouncers: Remix” is a parody of the nightclub scene and invites its audience on a night out downtown at The Boozy Bear.
Four actors take on the roles of the nightclub bouncers, sharing their observations on the customers, portraying more than 20 characters between them. The audience can see them as giggly girls and drunken lads on the pull, to name but a few.
Directed by Em Stanway, the fast-paced take on nightlife culture blends comedy, sharp social commentary and physical theatre.
It is her debut as a director for Congleton Players, although she is an experienced director and producer in her own right.
Assistant director Sam Hands, who has previously delighted Congleton audiences in “Frankenstein”, “The Fire and the Silence”, “One Man, Two Guvnors” and “Blood Brothers” joins the cast, together with Lewis Robinson (“Blackadder”, “And Then There Were None”, “The Railway Children”, “Macbeth” and “The Fire and the Silence”), Sam Sherliker (“One Man, Two Guvnors”) and newcomer Graham Curtis.
The show runs until Saturday. For tickets (£15, concessions for under-18s, students and over-60s £12), visit danesidetheatre.co.uk.
