Bouncers is regarded as Godbers finest work. :: English Literature

Bouncers is regarded as Godbers finest work.As a political play, we see Bouncers as being successful in beingpublished during the time drinking was a British culture., where itwas done so much. Obviously, like nowadays, the government precious to ground that was a big problem. Godbers comedy in the play shows a much more than funny side to the subject whilst also showing the typical slipway ofwhat the young people during that time did.

For example, the lads were talkingamongst themselves very nicely before they go, however, once theyleave, a disturb breaks out in the club when they have had a little toomuch to drink. This is typical of the time and many people wereactually getting killed because of serious-minded over drinking or gettingrun over etc. Not enough was being done by the governme nt at the timeto somehow stop what was a huge problem in Britain.At the time, people were being influenced by the music of the day suchas the axial motion Stones and the Beatles. Those bands were reallyconsidered as the turning point in the British way of thinking andmany blamed them for how Britain has changed in the last 50 years. Thetime at which Godber wrote the play makes me think even more into thisidea of Godber wanting to underline the drinking culture of Britain.After all, it was not just drinking that he wanted to make peopleunderstand. There are many other subjects that branch off from beingdrunk like hooliganism in football, which was as serious for Godberback then as it is for us today. Teenage pregnancies are another one.When drinking is linked with subjects such as this, it makes thesubject even more heavy and interesting.My Personal Response to the taskThis play...I feel would be more acceptable for people in year 10 andsupra. As it does have mild whammy and actio ns that should becensored to 13 years and below. It might not appeal to them either asit contrasts the English way of life when you are in your great(p) hood.The things older people would find amusing would probably be confusingfor a younger audience, so it would actually appeal to 14 years andabove as there would be more of an understanding. Parents may not evenagree to their children viewing this play, and it would probably be
