Two Plays. Two Casts. Two Weekends. Bouncers and Shakers are two hilarious plays that take an unflinching look at the lives of England’s working class
The Flowertown Underground explores comedy through two lenses as Bouncers is produced by an all-male crew and Shakers is produced by an all-female crew. Pick one or come to both, let us know who the winner of the battle of sexes is.
These witty British comedies explore the mundane lives of the working class. If you’ve ever worked in the food and beverage industry you’re in for very relatable laughs. Each cast of 4 must switch characters at the drop of a hat as the actors play over 20 different characters ranging from “yuppie punters”, businessmen, party girls, socialites and more.
BOUNCERS
Bursting with imagination and wit and presented by just four actors, Bouncers is an outrageous and hilarious parody of the disco scene. The four British bouncers portray over twenty different characters during the pulsating beat of the nightclub. We see them as giggly girls, lads on the town, and of course drunken slobs. It will have you in stitches. “Bouncers is brilliant.” – Daily Mail.
SHAKERS
Every town has its local trendy cocktail bar where everyone wants to be and be seen. We are given a wickedly funny glimpse of this world by the four long-suffering waitresses who work there. Rushed off their feet, underpaid and overworked, they try to smile and help the difficult customers whilst coping with their own personal problems. A fascinating and often hilarious view of the reality which lurks behind the plastic palms and the pina coladas. “Another excellent piece of theatre which leaves the audience well entertained and also thinking. Highly entertaining.” – Edinburgh Festival Times.
Come join us for rap battles, slapstick, and thought-provoking commentary. Each play is sold separately. Come for one or both.
