This play may contain strong language. Cigarettes will be smoked on stage. There will be a British Sign Language Interpretation on Thursday 20 May.

Join Stick, Frank and Happy Larry (two men and a woman!) as they embark on another coach journey down the Rhine Valley….these long suffering drivers have seen it all and done it all! Travel with them to Paris with thirty old age pensioners, search for lost teeth in Koblenz, witness love affairs in Boppard and finally after a four-day ‘Umpah’ party make the long journey back.

 

Funny, sad and cinematic you’ll be amazed as Stick, Frank and Happy Larry play many of the pensioners in a total evocation of a bus trip.

 

Touching, funny and provoking comedy written by one of the nation’s leading comedy playwrights who has written over 50 plays!

'John Godber turns a bad trip into a brilliant night out.  Much credit is due to the three-strong cast, who have nothing but a pile of old suitcases.'
The Guardian 

 

'utterly hilarious'

'Bouncers for the crinklies'

'Fans of Godber will relish his way with dialogue. Glorious moments of comedy and sentiment liberally sprinkle this script and we are in the presence of characters drawn so perfectly from real life.'
Derby Telegraph

 

'The acting is first rate. ... definitely worth seeing'
Lancashire Evening Post
