September in the Rain, King's Lynn Arts Centre, 1995
Cast: Andrew Bennett, Barbara Darnley
Writer: John Godber
Director: Zoe Seaton
The Hull Truck theatre company were a really big deal in the nineties. They always seemed to have a play on tour somewhere near me, often written by John Godber who is probably most famous for Bouncers. His stuff could be formulaic but it was a formula that worked. Inside the cover is a list of all the dates this played which numbers nearly sixty venues. Nobody tours that much now. Nobody could afford to and probably some of those venues don't exist any more. And that's a real shame. There are pictures of Blackpool in the programme so I'm guessing the couple on the cover go there for a holiday and it probably isn't as nice as they'd hope (as you'd imagine in September).
