Jeffrey Bernard Is Unwell
by Keith Waterhouse
13th - 20th April 1996
Directed by Barry Lee

Jeffrey Bernard, having passed out in the lavatory of his favourite pub (The Coach And Horses in Soho) awakes to find himself locked in the pub for the night. He resigns himself to spending the time with a bottle of vodka and an endless chain of cigarettes, narrating a story of hilarious anecdotes and witty reminiscences about the various characters who populate his present world and his past.

This is a play about friendship, failure and coming to terms with life. It is a portrait of a man - warts, vodka bottle and all.
