The John Godber Company presents
The World Première of
THIS IS NOT RIGHT
Written and directed by John Godber
Wilton’s Music Hall
1 October – 5 October
Following the recent run of Scary Bikers at Trafalgar Studios, The John Godber Company today announces the world première of John Godber’s This is not Right. Godber directs Frazer Hammill (Dad) and Martha Godber(Holly Parker) in the production which opens on 2 October, with previews from 1 October, and runs until 5 October.
This is not Right is the unfiltered story of Holly Parker, a talented girl from a Council estate in Hull, and her single parent Dad. After exam success leads to her being bullied, Holly’s anxiety grows when her Dad becomes obsessed with the Madeleine McCann case and keeping her safe.
Holly moves on, from local college to University College London. Three years of freedom, music and mac ’n’ cheese. But a degree isn’t worth what it was, and soon she is back on the estate she was desperate to leave, back with the spice zombies and the vandals next door, struggling with an over-protective parent to make things work, with no money, no job, and a whole load of debt.
Then after one night at the Welly Club, another student goes missing… Now her Dad is losing control and Holly is scared.
Written and directed by BAFTA and Olivier Award-winner John Godber, this new play follows the critical success of Scary Bikers at Trafalgar Studios. This is not Right, is told in the signature style of his seminal worldwide hitBouncers.
