Bouncers in pre- World War I United States were also sometimes used as the guardians of morality. As ballroom dancing was often considered as an activity which could lead to immoral conduct if the dancers got too close, some of the more reputable venues had bouncers to remind patrons not to dance closer than nine inches to their partners. The bouncers' warnings tended to consist of light taps on the shoulder at first, and then progressed to sterner remonstrations. [19] a b c "Did you know?

In Canada, bouncers have the right to use reasonable force to expel intoxicated or aggressive patrons. First, the patron must be asked to leave the premises. If the patron refuses to leave, the bouncer can use reasonable force to expel the patron. This guideline has been upheld in a number of court cases. [44] Under the definition of 'reasonable force', "it is perfectly acceptable [for the bouncer] to grab a patron’s arm to remove the patron from the premises". However, "Only in situations where employees reasonably believe that the conduct of the patron puts them in danger can they inflict harm on a patron and then only to the extent that such force is necessary for self defence". [44] This said, the second act develops in structure so that when the final dance routine arrives it feels as though the piece has come satisfyingly full circle. And it is in these closing minutes that the outstanding cast, with no more dramatic delivery to consider, really let themselves go. Bouncers was written by John Godber, an English dramatist known for his observational comedies. He has written for the TV series Brookside and Grange Hill. His plays have been performed worldwide, with Bouncers, which he wrote in 1977, been his most popular. He dispels tensions between Eric and Judd, but despite his peaceful intersessions with his work mates he is prone to violence towards the clubs patrons if they get out of hand. His temper has to be curtailed by Eric who claims Les has no self-control. However he displays a broad mindedness towards gay men which makes him an object of suspicion with the other bouncers.It was interesting to see their varied range of personality. The girls ranged from the exotic ‘Sexy Suzy’ to the more mundane headache-ridden Elaine. The men also were of varying characters. Through all the fast-paced action, however, the play held a deep underlying message that was not lost out in all the humour. It was a message showing how hopeless and bleak people’s lives could become. What all the characters shared was the feeling of failure, since they felt that the only way they could be successful was to ‘enjoy’ the nightlife.
