Following a week at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough Sunny Side Up! will play for a week in November to a socially distanced audience in The Heron.

The show follows the hilarious and moving account of a struggling Yorkshire coast B&B and the people who run it. Written by John Godber, Sunny Side Up! was created by the Godber family as they isolated together as a social bubble over the Spring and Summer of 2020 and the cast will include John Godber, Martha Godber and Jane Thornton and will be stage managed by Elizabeth Godber.

John Godber, Director of Sunny Side Up!, said: "What a fantastic opportunity to bring my new play back to Hull Truck where it all began for me! This social comedy set on the East Yorkshire coast will ring bells for anyone, who, like us, have been isolating at home and finding new walks in our region. Sunny Side Up is a hymn to where we live and to the tenacity of the people who work our seaside towns!"
