Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell, featuring Robert Bathurst, will be staged at Malvern Theatres following its success in Soho. The play portrays the life of journalist Jeffrey Bernard, who grapples with his chaotic lifestyle and personal struggles. Bathurst's performance has received critical acclaim, earning him the Best Actor award at the London Pub Theatre Awards.
Following five sold-out seasons at the world-famous Coach and Horses in Soho, Robert Bathurst (Cold Feet, Downton Abbey, Toast of London) takes his acclaimed portrayal of Jeffrey Bernard on a UK tour. Named a Times Critic’s Pick, the production saw Bathurst win Best Actor at the London Pub Theatre Awards. MEET JEFFREY BERNARD.. . a notorious and feckless Soho face. A journalist who doesn’t know the meaning of the word deadline and would much rather be drinking vodka on the rocks in his favourite Soho watering holes. A throwback of a man who after four marriages and a life of non-stop carousing is starting to feel a touch jaded. Having fallen asleep in the Gents and waking up in the middle of the night inside the legendary Coach and Horses on Greek Street, Jeffrey Bernard is not a man to waste the deserted hours ahead of him before Norman the landlord opens up again in the morning. Don’t miss the chance to down a pint in The Coach and Horses whilst this Soho legend puts a few (many!) drinks on the tab and regales us with stories of busted bookies, failed marriages, illegal cat-racing and introduces us to his favourite pub trick involving a pint glass, match-box and a raw egg. This one-man show is adapted by James Hillier from the critically acclaimed West End play by Keith Waterhouse. Running time: 80 minutes (no interval) Please note: running times are approximate and may change on the day of a performance.
