written and directed by John Godber

Tues 20 - Sat 31 March

A comedy about culture clashes, wine, wit and Whitby, Weekend Breaks is John Godber at his funniest and most perceptive.

It’s all looking sunny for working class lad made good Martin Dawson – a promising academic, an aspiring film writer, and married into TV royalty. But when his wife finds out about an extra-marital fling, things turn rather chilly.

And it’s not only his marriage that needs patching up – his Mum’s got a face like a wet weekend. But, as Martin rediscovers his roots, he finds out what it really means to love your parents – even when you want to kill them!

”The unsung hero of British theatre."
The Guardian.

”How good a playwright is John Godber...on this evidence he is very good indeed."
Daily Telegraph
