'...always an enjoyable evening, by the end surprisingly thought-provoking.' Whats On Stage

Martin Dawson is a promising academic and aspiring film writer, having married into TV royalty, a recent extra marital fling has left him trying to patch things up with his wife and his disapproving working class parents.

In a comedy about culture clashes, wine, wit and Whitby, Weekend Breaks sees Godber at his perceptive best, as Martin rediscovers his roots and what it really means to love your parents; even when you want to kill them!

‘How good a playwright is John Godber...on this evidence he is very good indeed.’
Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph.

BAFTA-winning writer John Godber's previous hits at The Lowry have included Teechers, April in Paris, Our House and Lucky Sods.

A Weekend Breaks Education Pack for Teachers and Students is available here.
