Richard Jackson is middle-aged, middle-class and seemingly
content with his lot in life...but that's all about to change
as Richard gets more than he bargained for when he gets the decorators
in.
The two decorators are small family firm of Danny
and Leo Hardy, two die-hard party animals with a devotion to
Northern Soul music. So one night, when Richard's family are
away, his plans for a quiet night in with a Chinese takeaway
and a bottle of wine quickly evaporate after a chance meeting
with Danny, Leo and their respective wives.
Suddenly Richard finds himself on a wild and unpredictable night
on the town that has both hilarious and disastrous consequences
for everyone. Beer, infidelity, swinging and Northern Soul combine
to make ON A NIGHT LIKE THIS truly a night to remember. |

'one of the best Godber plays to date'

'this has all the best attributes of a night out
at Hull Truck - great music, rowdy nightclub scenes, packed house
laughing uproariously - but it also [has] a depth and poignancy
of character'
Alfred Hickling, The Guardian |
