Brand new comedy from John Godber coming to the East Riding Theatre this summer ahead of a national tour next year!

'THIS IS THE LIFE'

Dave and Sapphire have worked backstage at the Old Forge for years. They’ve never felt the lure of the spotlight, they prefer the dark of the wings. But when they learn that the venue is closing, they are both shocked and angry.

Despite dwindling audience numbers, unfunny stand-ups and a chaotic staff, they love this damp, old, crumbling local theatre.

In his audacious new comedy, Godber interrogates hope, ghosts and the power of performance as seen through the eyes of a cynical backstage duo.

With tickets going fast make sure you grab them today:
