Jeffery Bernard Is Unwell

Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell is a play about real-life journalist. Bernard was still alive at the time the play was first performed in the West End in 1989.

Bernard wrote the Low Life column in The Spectator.

The play's title refers to the magazine's habit of printing a one-line apology on a blank page when he was too drunk or hung-over to produce the required copy and where a substitute article could not be found before the deadline for publication.

Its premise is that Bernard has found himself locked in overnight at his favourite public house, the coach and Horses in Soho.
