    First performed at the Edinburgh Fringe in 1984, 'Up 'n' Under' is an award-winning comedy set somewhere in the North of England. It concerns an amateur rugby team from the 'Wheatsheaf Arms' who can only muster a side of four whose pride lies in their unbroken record of defeat. It is time for this pitifully unfit set of men to accept the help of a coach - who just happens to be a woman - if they are to ever have any hope of victory.

    First produced in Hull in 1995, 'Lucky Sods' is a hilarious and compassionate comedy about guilt, luck, superstition, and lives changed forever. Jean and Morris have won the lottery. Morris bought the ticket and picked the numbers, but Jean changed one at the last minute. They sat, they watched, they won, it happened to them. Nothing on Friday and two million pounds on Saturday. But is it a dream come true? Bad luck seems to follow after good, and as the couple keep striking gold, their lives are slowly coming apart, unnoticed amidst the glamour of Hollywood and Venice and a new conservatory.

    May is moving out. After forty-five years in the same house, age - and the racket from next door - have finally driven her away from the home she made for herself and her family. Her son Jack comes round to help, and as they move their boxes out to the van, we see memories playing out - snapshots of life shown against the backdrop of the changing social profile of the area, from working pit village to Northern sink estate. 'Our House' was first performed in July 2001 at Spring Street Theatre, Hull. This revised version was first performed in January 2008 at Theatre Royal, Wakefield.

    Ron and Yvonne have gone camping in a caravan bought with Ron's early retirement money. But what they imagined would be an uneventful time to themselves is interrupted when a bull-terrier-breeding, middle-aged former miner pitches up next to them with his 20-year-old girlfriend. Their loud arguments, and even louder love-making, breaks the silence Ron and Yvonne had build around themselves, forcing them to accept situations, and home truths, far outside their comfort zone. Perfect Pitch was first performed in 1998 at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough.

    In 'Salt of the Earth', Godber presents an affectionate look at a West Yorkshire mining community, following sisters May and Annie, and their families, from the austerity of the post-war 1940s, to the miners' strikes in the 1980s. Beneath the humour is the ache of humanity, of people trapped in circumstances and jobs from which they feel they cannot escape. 'Salt of the Earth' was first presented as part of the Wakefield Centenary celebrations at the Theatre Royal and Opera House, Wakefield, in 1988.

    Ray is a failed novelist and a failing investigative journalist who is trying to get a commission from the Observer. He has decided to write about human trafficking, and visits a brothel in London to try to get a story. There he meets Anja, a twenty-one-year-old Moldovan woman who was first sold into prostitution when she was sixteen. But Ray finds himself being drawn closer and closer to Anja. As the lines are blurred between reporting and interfering with her life, we are confronted with the uncomfortable truth that slavery is alive and well in modern society. Written for the bicentenary of the abolition of the slave trade, 'Sold' was first performed in November 2007.

    'Teechers' is a play within a play, as secondary school students Gail, Hobby and Salty put on an end of year performance in their drama class which tells the story of that last year in school, and in particular, of the arrival and departure of their inspirational if unconventional drama teacher, Mr Nixon. The three students each adopt many voices, with each rendered in clear and comic voice. 'Teechers' was written for, and first performed by, Hull Truck Theatre Company, premiering at the Edinburgh Festival in 1987.

    'April in Paris', first performed by Hull Truck Theatre Company in 1992, is a delicately wrought comedy filled with raucous indelicate dialogue. Al and Bet are a married couple, living a monochrome life. Left half-broke by Al's continuing unemployment, the couple bicker about everything from having no hot water to Al's uninspired black-and-white paintings to Bet's obsession with magazine competitions. When Bet finally wins one - the prize being a trip for two to Paris - there is the glimmer of romantic hope for a complete reversal of fortunes

    'Bouncers', originally produced at the Edinburgh Fringe in 1977, is an outrageous and hilarious parody of the disco scene. The four brutish bouncers of the title portray over twenty different characters as we are invited for a night out on the town. We see them as giggly girls and lads on the make preparing for the big night out as we follow their progress to the disco floor. There, we also meet an entire cross-section of disco-goers, including Hooray Henrys, pogoing punks and drunken slobs! The evening's events are set against the tatty glitzy glamour, flashing lights and pulsating beat of the night-club scene. 'Bouncers (1990s Remix)' is a revised and expanded version, first given in Hull in 1991

But Kath, the A & E nurse who this time last year lost her husband, is faced with the biggest drama of all, when she unexpectedly receives two tickets for a city-break to Prague.

Set on the pitches of the rundown Beech Hill Bowling club, we watch across a period of twenty years as the environment disintegrates, and the Yorkshire landscape, both physical and social, is irreparably altered. 'Crown Prince' was first performed in May 2007 at Spring Street Theatre, Hull

    First produced in Hull in 1995, 'Lucky Sods' is a hilarious and compassionate comedy about guilt, luck, superstition, and lives changed forever. Jean and Morris have won the lottery. Morris bought the ticket and picked the numbers, but Jean changed one at the last minute. They sat, they watched, they won, it happened to them. Nothing on Friday and two million pounds on Saturday. But is it a dream come true? Bad luck seems to follow after good, and as the couple keep striking gold, their lives are slowly coming apart, unnoticed amidst the glamour of Hollywood and Venice and a new conservatory

    May is moving out. After forty-five years in the same house, age - and the racket from next door - have finally driven her away from the home she made for herself and her family. Her son Jack comes round to help, and as they move their boxes out to the van, we see memories playing out - snapshots of life shown against the backdrop of the changing social profile of the area, from working pit village to Northern sink estate. 'Our House' was first performed in July 2001 at Spring Street Theatre, Hull. This revised version was first performed in January 2008 at Theatre Royal, Wakefield

    Ron and Yvonne have gone camping in a caravan bought with Ron's early retirement money. But what they imagined would be an uneventful time to themselves is interrupted when a bull-terrier-breeding, middle-aged former miner pitches up next to them with his 20-year-old girlfriend. Their loud arguments, and even louder love-making, breaks the silence Ron and Yvonne had build around themselves, forcing them to accept situations, and home truths, far outside their comfort zone. Perfect Pitch was first performed in 1998 at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough

    In 'Salt of the Earth', Godber presents an affectionate look at a West Yorkshire mining community, following sisters May and Annie, and their families, from the austerity of the post-war 1940s, to the miners' strikes in the 1980s. Beneath the humour is the ache of humanity, of people trapped in circumstances and jobs from which they feel they cannot escape. 'Salt of the Earth' was first presented as part of the Wakefield Centenary celebrations at the Theatre Royal and Opera House, Wakefield, in 1988

    Ray is a failed novelist and a failing investigative journalist who is trying to get a commission from the Observer. He has decided to write about human trafficking, and visits a brothel in London to try to get a story. There he meets Anja, a twenty-one-year-old Moldovan woman who was first sold into prostitution when she was sixteen. But Ray finds himself being drawn closer and closer to Anja. As the lines are blurred between reporting and interfering with her life, we are confronted with the uncomfortable truth that slavery is alive and well in modern society. Written for the bicentenary of the abolition of the slave trade, 'Sold' was first performed in November 2007
