“The latest comedy from the writer of Bouncers and Teechers”

Poles Apart

Tuesday 27 October–Saturday 31 October 2015

A John Godber Company and Theatre Royal Wakefield production

Written and directed by John Godber

John Godber is one of the country’s most popular playwrights. in his scorching new comedy, two worlds collide when the scaffolders from hell descend upon a quiet theatre.

Phil, Fat Glen and Polish Jan deliver a breathless rant on life, art and sausage sarnies amid desperate efforts to mend the leaking roof. And when they race off to their next job, leading lady Abi and theatre manager Grahame unleash their real feelings about the men with the hard hats.

Uncompromising and unflinching, this visually exciting world premiere takes a deliriously funny look at life from the top of a scaff ’ tower. And it’s never over until the fat man sings!
