  John Godber is one of the unsung heroes of British theatre, reaching the giddy heights of number three in the most-performed playwrights league table, nestled in behind Shakespeare and Ayckbourn - GuardianTeechers: In a class of its own ...Godber takes a hard-hitting look at life in a modern comprehensive where class conflicts, teacher tantrums and cavorting chaos runs riot through the corridors (The Express); Happy Jack: Godber manages with an affectionate and unerringly accurate ear for the tongues of the pit village to turn these two into a Chaucerian kind of celebration of life. At the end of the line the play is a sad, bruised but richly comic love story (Guardian); September in the Rain: The work of a genuinely talented playwright (Evening Standard); Salt of the Earth: John Godber has a special gift for capturing the lives and inner turmoil of the working class ...In the most subtle and incisive ways, he suggests how the combination of innate personality and a changing society determines individual destiny (Chicago Times)
