Shaking up the Landmark Theatre with John Godber’s Shakers

Summer 2007: Studio Theatre's production of John Godber's & Jane Thornton's Shakers at the Landmark Theatre, Ilfracombe, Devon

Studio Theatre kicked off its four-week stint of 2007 summer Sundays at the Landmark Theatre with two performances of Shakers by John Godber and Jane Thornton on Sundays 29th July and 5th August.

Waitressing onto the stage

The all-female cast, comprising

• Julie Moore
• Christine Roberts
• Su Scott-Goldstone
• Elena Wright

waitressed on to the Landmark stage to take a wickedly funny look at the world of four long-suffering cocktail waitresses and their hilarious view of reality lurking beneath the plastic palms and pina coladas of a typical cocktail bar.

John Godber is reputedly the second most performed living English playwright and, after Shakespeare and Ayckbourn, the third most often performed of all time.

Shakers, which contains strong language and is not suitable for children, is one of his most popular plays.

This is one of three productions directed at the Landmark this summer by Lee Baxendale.
