Multi award-winning playwright John Godber’s (Bouncers) latest comedy Do I Love You? draws upon his love of Northern Soul which he’s been a fan of since 1972!
With choreography by Northern Soul World Dance Champion 2022 Sally Molloy, from Staffordshire, the production from the John Godber Company takes to the stage at the New Vic.
What started as a college project has grown into a passion, but the dance steps are exhausting. Far beyond their home city of Hull our trio of twenty-somethings Sally (Martha Godber; Sunny Side Up, John Godber Company), Nat (Chloe Mcdonald; Twopence To Cross The Mersey, UK Tour) and Kyle (Emilio Encinoso-Gil; Peter Pan, Tony Peers Ltd, Blackfriars Theatre and Arts Centre) find excitement, purpose and the tribe they’ve been looking for. Now they can’t get enough; from Brid Spa to Stoke, from Chesterfield to the Tower Ballroom, our young soulies are determined to keep the faith!
