The Scary Bikers. Written and directed by John Godber
A new comedy about life, love and staying on your bike!
When retired miner Don and former private school teacher Carol meet at a bereavement group, they thought they’d found a new beginning. But a bike ride through Europe would test their budding romance, and the road to love is rocky when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.
Join them on their hilarious and heartfelt journey, as they reconcile the past, debate the present and worry about the future. Whether they’re saddle sore in Southampton, blistered in Bordeaux or frazzled in Florence, one thing is for sure – it takes two to tandem!
Starring the double BAFTA and Olivier Award-winning partnership of John Godber and Jane Thornton, whose feature film Last Laugh was released October 2017.

Just Brilliant!
Brilliant play - moving and funny in equal amounts and very thought provoking. Superbly acted. Like all good plays it leaves you with more questions than answers. A real gem.
Was a great mix of serious and funny themes. Well performed and great use of the space.
Enjoyable.
A brilliant example of live theatre on an intimate scale. Totally engaging, this impressive two-hander moved effortlessly between slapstick, ironic humour and moving soliloquies. Loved it!
Great little theatre, right up close to the performance. Show was very good, felt the end faded off a bit, and not helped by big clanger when Carol got her lines muddled, saying she voted to leave Brexit instead of remain!
The intimate setting allowed me to get close to this excellent play. Jane Thornton and John Godber interacted so well, weaving four lives out of two. It was a comedy with political muscle and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
A very funny down to earth take on life with heartbreaking moments.
Well written, well acted = Money well spent!
I thought the play was brilliant - have recommended it to a friend who I know would love it. It does show that with a great script and acting you can create wonderful entertainment from very little
Great perspective on Brexit for those that enjoy cycling! Lovely venue really small and intimate
First half was good, but lost momentum in the second and rather fizzled out.
