One of Hull’s artistic icons told an audience at Humber Business Week about his unlikely journey from aspiring footballer to teacher and then from playwright to unwitting entrepreneur.
John Godber, recognised as one of the most performed writers in the English language, spoke of the play he wrote which saved Hull Truck Theatre, the transformation as the company relocated to its new home, and the family business which embraces creativity, innovation and sustainability.
John’s daughter Martha highlighted the work being done to help underprivileged creatives by The Godber Theatre Foundation, which she set up during lockdown as a branch of The John Godber Company.
