bouncersBouncers is a play based around four lads, bouncers at a club, and the things they see and do on an average night out. The play uses the same actors to play all the different parts in the play, as well as the main characters. This introduces the idea that the bouncers themselves are telling a story. They in a way have an oversight as to what goes on in their society, and what happens, good and bad, at clubs and pubs all across the country. The play opens the audiences eyes, and enlightens them about things they may have not noticed before. It appeals to almost all of the population, people who cannot relate to the situation learn about what happens in places they have never been before. People who can relate to the situation will most likely be taught things they had not realised happened, right under their nose. It crosses over the class barriers, by referring to all the rungs of the ladder in the play, and the way they are viewed by the others. It also, and possibly more interestingly, has some scenes in which either the males or females in the audience can learn about their opposites, and fills the curiosity which almost all people have about the other sex.The first scene establishes character and personality. Eric begins b . . .
At the club, there is friction between Judd and Les, which causes a riot. The scene switches to the Barbers whereby Ralph is reading “dirty magazines”. y welcoming the audience; Eric being the one who introduces the play, and who the audience first set eyes on conveys his authority above the other three bouncers. This is because it is usually men who moan about women being late and taking ages to get ready and here Godber shows us, men do exactly the same. Godber is not only showing trends and the like, but he is also pointing out change, and the way things may go in the future. Eric states that the radio gets on his “Bloody nerves”; straight after this Judd changes the conversation to something they all can relate to, the “new Alberto Balsam”, a shampoo. We are now shown the women at the disco wearing “brand new clothes”. Eric decides “Disco” and therefore Disco it is. As with many things in the play, Godber is doing this not so much to say this is normal and acceptable, but to point out that this happens, and that people should take notice. This shocks the others, as it goes against the stereotype of men being the majority of gamblers. This scene adds to the humour of the play and conveys the expectations of a man (down below). In this scene, Godber shows the kind of prejudice present in society of this time, whereby if you are pretty women, anything is possible, but if you are a man, you need some sort of special status to be allowed entrance to a club. This introduces violence, and adds to the dark side of the play, which has already been introduced with the Christmas day happenings. Common topics in this essay: | |||
