Guardian Review
This continuation of the original from the pen of John
Godber, and with his consent, Bouncers was re-born. All the
old characters were there and the cast, which performed in
the original, returned for this production: Les by the
writer Joe Mills, Ralph by Brian Clarke, Lucky Eric by
Barry Callander and Judd by Steve Unsworth. All of them
gave the same characterisations as before and all that can
be said is they all played their parts extremely well.
You either like or loathed Bouncers and although the
language used tends to become less shockable as the evening
progresses because you hear so much in the same vain. I
found that the first half of this sequel was funny but the
second half less so, and at least fifteen minutes needs to
be cut in that half; but I did like the twist at the end.
An entertaining evening and Joe's other characters were
very well acted by this talented young man. Congratulations
and my thanks for an interesting evening.
