Happy Jack

Written a year after September in the Rain, we here encounter the'same two characters, Liz and Jack, addressing the audience about the biographical details of the characters they play, and then'slipping into those characters. Small, lovingly detailed extracts from the couple's lives are shown from their early courtship days, through to their retirement, but not in chronological order, so we constantly weave a path through their long life together. The Financial Times described the play as 'Neat, touching and joyously celebratory'.  Published in the volume John Godber Plays 2 with Teechers, September in the Rain, and Salt of the Earth.
