Men Of The World

A Comedy by John Godber
(By Arrangement with Concord Theatricals UK Ltd)
Preparing for a mystery trip to Scarborough (She wouldnt book till Dennis told her where we were going), three northern coach drivers pass the time remembering more exciting trips from the past, such as the last one, down the Rhine Valley to Heidelberg.Stick hates his passengers and wishes he was doing the Spanish run instead of Johnny Mac. Larry is a Mario Lanza fan whos been making trips for as long as anyone can remember. Frank (dont ask itll only shock you!) is their female counterpart.We meet an assortment of passengers, from the dotty old complainers to the retired miners seeking excitement too late and on too little money. Escape is on everyones mind but no-one knows quite what theyre escaping from and how to go about it. As Sissy says, it is better going somewhere when youre seventy-nine than going nowhere.A touching, often hilarious, bitter-sweet play, full of John Godbers usual clever and perceptive view of Men of the World.Curtain Rises at 7.30pm: Doors Open 7pm
