Practitioners on Practice... On Playwriting: An interview with John Godber
“Stories that happen on the stage, the best of them happened in the street.”
John Godber, one of the most performed playwrights in the UK, delves into his process for creating work that focuses on the plight of individuals who suffer judgement and misfortune as a result of class prejudice.
Godber elaborates on the experiences that influenced plays such as Up ‘n’ Under and Bouncers, provides an insight on the value of direct address, working with multiple voices and turning life into narrative, and emphasises the importance of enabling access to the arts for all types of audiences.
