The red and green lights in Shakers added to the club land atmosphere and the disco lights were an appropriate addition. The walls were decorated with some posters. The stage is set to double as a typical night club and a cocktail bar with bricked walls, a bar stage right and four stools which were well used during both performances. As John Godber say ‘The play is often attributed to me, but in truth it was in every way a collaboration between myself and Jane Thornton.’ In fact, ‘the collaboration was an attempt to produce a play for women which had the same sense of excitement, the same visceral energy and calls upon the audience’s engaged imagination as its bigger brother Bouncers.’ The plays together take a sardonic look at the nightlife in the north, set initially in the 80’s, where the ‘Shakers’ are cocktail waitresses and the ‘Bouncers’ provide the security in a nightclub. Bouncers and Shakers or should I say Shakers and Bouncers as they were presented on the night is a comedy companion set of plays.
