What’s that? Bouncers are coming to the theatre! Now don’t worry, there aren’t big hefty guys coming in to sort out people at the theatre, but the return of John Godber’s award-winning modern classic Bouncers.

After last year’s phenomenally successful tour of The 39 Steps, Black RAT Productions (they have become well known for their fast paced actioned packed autumn tours that have delighted audiences over recent years.) will be back at Theatr Colwyn, Colwyn Bay in November, with this topically updated, energy-packed version of the original play.

The production is back due to popular demand following a previous Black RAT Bouncers tour in 2010 which thrilled Welsh audiences and was hailed as ‘an excellent production’ by its playwright John Godber. Directed by Richard Tunley and designed by Hilary Statts with lighting design by Robin Bainbridge and sound design by James Marsh.

The story of Bouncers follows the fortunes of Les, Judd, Ralph and Lucky Eric, the bouncers at a local night club, as they prepare for the onslaught of a Friday night’s debauchery. Lads are on the pull, girls are on the razzle and the beer is flowing free. What follows is a theatrical feast as the four bouncers play ALL the characters with hysterical consequences.

John Godber said about Bouncers in his Introduction in the Methuen Drama book, John Godber Plays 1 “I wanted to make a piece of theatre that couldn’t be ignored. A piece of theatre that was robust, and vigorous, shocking and humorous. I wanted to create a piece of theatre that spoke to a generation of clubbers rather than theatregoers and spoke to them in a language, which they understood. The pace had to be fast, it had to be slick, and it had to be funny. It had to be worth going to see!”

About Black RAT’s tour, John Godber said “I’m delighted Black RAT is touring Bouncers once again. I know Welsh audiences will appreciate the honesty and directness of the production. Bouncers is as relevant today as it was when I first wrote it. I’m sure Black RAT’s audience will make it a night to remember!”

A talented cast of some of Wales’ finest comedy actors make up the cast. The company are delighted to welcome back Black RAT favourites Gareth John Bale and Sam Davies. Not only were these two black ratters in last year’s ‘The 39 Steps’ but they were two of the original BOUNCERS. They will be joined by Ross Ford and Morgan Hopkins as Lucky Eric.

Tickets for Bouncers at Theatr Colwyn are available from www.theatrcolwyn.co.uk and the Box Office on 01492 577888. The show will be at Theatr Colwyn, Colwyn Bay, on November 7.
