Description
"John Godber is one of the unsung heroes of British theatre, reaching the giddy heights of number three in the most-performed playwrights league table, nestled in behind Shakespeare and Ayckbourn" - GuardianTeechers: "In a class of its own ...Godber takes a hard-hitting look at life in a modern comprehensive where class conflicts, teacher tantrums and cavorting chaos runs riot through the corridors" (The Express); Happy Jack: "Godber manages with an affectionate and unerringly accurate ear for the tongues of the pit village to turn these two into a Chaucerian kind of celebration of life.
At the end of the line the play is a sad, bruised but richly comic love story" (Guardian); September in the Rain: "The work of a genuinely talented playwright" (Evening Standard); Salt of the Earth: "John Godber has a special gift for capturing the lives and inner turmoil of the working class ...In the most subtle and incisive ways, he suggests how the combination of innate personality and a changing society determines individual destiny" (Chicago Times)
