Written & Directed by John Godber
Designed by Pip Leckenby
The new comedy from one of the nation’s favourite playwrights, author of international hits BOUNCERS, UP N UNDER and TEECHERS.
THE DEBT COLLECTORS mixes money and love with the love of money, as two out of work actors fall into the world of debt recovery. It’s a role they despise but a job they were made for, and they are desperate for cash. But all is not what it seems in this hilarious comedy of unpaid bills, offers of sex and boozy bailiffs! Join the Debt Collectors as they dig into a world of cash and collection and what we will do to avoid it! They were once in The Bill now they’re on your case! Demanding money has never been as funny; they may be in the wrong job, but they are the best in the business.
The Debt Collectors; they know where you live, and how much you paid for it! A contemporary comedy about credit, castings and cashing in.

Facts
Debt collectors aren't court officials and don't have the same powers as bailiffs. They can't enter your home or seize your possessions. They can only write, phone, or visit your home to talk to you about the debt and how to pay it back.
According to Debt Charity Credit Action, The average UK household debt in 2011 is £55,862
Credit Card debt is among the most common forms of debt with purchases to the value of £1,156,000,000 made daily.
