A John Godber play returns to Oldham this month with an updated version of Shakers, sister play to Bouncers.
Shakers: Under New Management! puts women’s lives front and centre. The high street might be struggling but Shakers bar is under new management.
For waitresses Adele, Nicky and Mel, their lives juggle home, work, school and everything in between, but how long can it be maintained?
The original Shakers was first presented by Hull Truck Theatre Company in 1984. It was co-written by John Godber and Jane Thornton, the same team that have updated the script for 2022.
Shakers: Under New Management! comes to Oldham Coliseum October 18–22.
