Men of the World

by John Godber
directed by Peter Stansfield
Wharfeside Theatre
Preparing for a mystery trip to Scarborough, three northern coach drivers pass the time remembering more exciting trips from the past, such as the last one, down the Rhine Valley to Heidelberg. Stick hates his passengers and wishes he was doing the Spanish run instead of Johnny Mac. Larry is a Mario Lanza fan who's been making trips for as long as anyone can remember and Frank is their female counterpart (don't ask - it'll only shock you !)
These three actors take turns playing an assortment of passengers, from the dotty old complainers to the retired miners seeking excitement too late and on too little money.
A touching, often hilarious, bitter-sweet play, full of John Godber's usual clever, perceptive view of "men of the world".
