About the Plays Bouncers is an
outrageous and hilarious parody of the disco scene set in the mid 1980's; four
brutish bouncers portraying over twenty different characters invite us for a
night out on the town. We meet giggly girls, lads on the make, Hooray
Henrys and a smooth-talking DJ, all against the tatty, glitzy glamour, flashing
lights and pulsating beat of the disco floor. Shakers is a wickedly
funny glimpse of the oh-so trendy cocktail bar from the early 1990’s by four
long-suffering waitresses, portraying a variety of customers: from the check-out
girls to the chinless wonders, from the yuppies to the local lads tittering at
the thought of a "Long, Slow, Comfortable Screw". |
