...and don't forget the 80s

Bursting at the seams with imagination and wit, John Godber's multi award winning, outrageous and hilarious parody of the 1980s' disco scene, Bouncers takes to the stage at Square Chapel on Saturday (7.30pm).
Reform Theatre brings to life more than 20 different characters in one crazy night on the town. Meet giggly girls and lads on the make, as they prepare for their big night out.
Later, in the tatty, glitzy glamour and flashing lights of the nightclub, follow their progress to the disco floor where an entire cross-section of disco-goers, including a smooth talking DJ, lip-sticked and lacquered girls, poseurs, hooray Henrys, pogoing punks, over indulged slobs and many more, gyrate to the pulsating beat of the 1980s' nightclub scene.
And so begins the journey into Friday night under the ever watchful, ever ready, ever observant… bouncers.
Slow dances, snogging, late night kebabs; all life is there. A journey through one of those nights that everyone has had and most would like to forget! The ultimate '80s night out. You'll laugh until they throw you out.
The play, which was recently voted one of the greatest plays of the 20th century by the National Theatre, was nominated for Comedy of the Year in 1985 and won seven Los Angeles Critics Circles Awards and five awards in Chicago in 1987. Definitely not to be missed!
Tickets are just £10 and £8 for concessions. For more information or to book call the Box Office on 01422 349422.
