Staffordshire’s New Vic Theatre continues its 60th anniversary celebrations this month by presenting a new production of John Godber’s very first play.

Written by Godber when he was only 25 years old, Happy Jack tells the story of a working-class couple as they struggle to make ends meet. 

Featuring double BAFTA and multi award-winning couple, John Godber and Jane Thornton (Scary Bikers, Shafted, Sunny Side Up!) who present the play which brought them together over forty years ago.

The show runs at the New Vic from Thursday 21 to Saturday 30 April. For more information, visit newvictheatre.org.uk
