TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- British playwright John Gober serves up a sweet-and-sour mix of late-night fun and morning-after reality in the boisterous comedy “Bouncers,” to be performed Tuesday, Nov. 27, through Sunday, Dec. 2, at The University of Alabama’s Allen Bales Theatre.

Inside a nightclub, a DJ plays a thumping beat, drinks flow freely, and tigers are on the prowl for the best pair of legs in the tightest pair of jeans. It’s a recipe for absolute pleasure or absolute pain -- and men in black stand guard, ready to ensure that both are viable options. “Bouncers” uses four actors in a variety of roles, from a venomous vixen to a liquored-up lounge lizard. Directed by second-year MFA student Marian Mantovani, who, like the playwright, hails from Yorkshire, England, “Bouncers” promises a night you’ll never forget.

Performances of “Bouncers” are 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Following the Saturday matinee is a Talk Back, in which audience members can ask questions of the cast and crew. All tickets are $6. (Price includes a $1 service fee.) Tickets can be bought at the Rowand-Johnson Hall box office from noon to 5 p.m. Monday though Friday (205/348-3400) or online at www.crimsonartstickets.com.
