John Godber
Full of warmth, understanding and humour, this is an affectionate and appealing portrait of an ordinary family struggling with change, bereavement and the generation gap.
On his graduation day in 1978, John looks back over his teenage years, from 1967-1973, recalling all the embarrassments, tensions, joys and sorrows of family life in West Yorkshire.
Older and better educated, he finds himself alienated from his working-class family who cannot understand his growing intellect and theatrical aspirations.5 women, 3 men, 1 woman or man
