SKIPTON Little Theatre will offer a double bill of comedy next week.

It will stage two one-act plays, Bouncers, written by John Godber, and Shakers, written by Godber and his wife, Jane Thornton.

They will be performed from Tuesday to Saturday, with curtains up at 7.30pm.

Bouncers is a parody of Saturday Night Fever, set in in a Yorkshire disco in the 1980s, while Shakers is set in a trendy cocktail bar and gives a wickedly funny glimpse of the world through the eyes of four long-suffering waitresses.

Chris Dixon makes his debut as a director.

"These plays have something of a cult following and are often associated with university and school productions given their emphasis on characterisation and less on props and set," he said. "They remain among my favourites for their ability to make an audience laugh and 'think' as well."
