Hull Truck Theatre: Men of the World
About the show
Written by BAFTA Award winning John Godber
Join Stick, Frank and Happy Larry (two men and a woman!) as they embark on another coach journey down the Rhine Valley….these long suffering drivers have seen it all and done it all! Travel with them to Paris with thirty old age pensioners, search for lost teeth in Koblenz, witness love affairs in Boppard and finally after a four-day ‘Umpah’ party make the long journey back.
Funny, sad and cinematic you’ll be amazed as Stick, Frank and Happy Larry play many of the pensioners in a total evocation of a bus trip.
Touching, funny and provoking comedy written by one of the nation’s leading comedy playwrights who has written over 50 plays!

**** The Guardian
“This portrayal of the microcosmic world of coach travel, which purports to be filled with holiday ‘fun’ is utterly hilarious” Manchester On Stage
“This is a touching and funny celebration of one of society’s marginalized sectors” The Yorkshire Post
“The play has been described as “Bouncers for the crinklies” Hull Daily Mail
“A funny, poignant, fascinating play that explores the old holidaymakers’ concerns with swelling feet, sitting over the coach wheel, food, flatulence, drinking and sex. Try it, it’s scary.” Hull Daily Mail
