Shakers - by John Godber and Jane Thornton
- Every town has its local trendy cocktail bar where everyone wants to be seen, from the local check-out girls to the chinless wonders, from the yuppies to the local lads tittering at the thought of a `long comfortable screw'. We are given a wickedly funny glimpse of this world by the four long-suffering waitresses who work there. Rushed off their feet, underpaid and overworked, they try to smile and help the difficult customers whilst coping with their own personal problems. A fascinating and often hilarious view of the reality which lurks behind the plastic palms and the pina coladas.

- The all female cast starred Sarah Chapman as Mel, the cynic; Jess Garrett as Nicki, the wannabe actress; Emma Newman as Adele, the youngest, and the most naive, and Wendy Rolph as Carol, the world weary mother figure. Written to be both observational and humorous, the play offers exciting, challenging and physical roles for its cast who each play a number of roles.
