The play shares the ups and downs of ordinary life for this working class couple who never ask for much and are grateful for what they have.
One of John Godber’s early plays, this semi-autobiographical play about his grandparents captures life at the coal face to the pit village, the seaside to loving times by the fireside, and their shared love of Mario Lanza. Sit back and enjoy this inventive and creative piece of storytelling which you are sure to find poignant and hilarious in equal measure.
