To Hull and beyond


To Hull and beyond

One year on from the storms, playwright John Godber tells Ian McCurrach why we should visit this part of Britain's coast

"Most people go to London to seek their fortune but I came to Hull, so I guess I'm a Yorkshireman through and through. I grew up in Upton, a mining village in West Yorkshire, and after going to Leeds University and teaching drama in Pontefract, I was asked to interview for the job of artistic director of Hull Truck Theatre Company. That was back in 1983 and I've stayed ever since".
