Performed by the Cayman Drama Society the play is based on the life and writings of real–life columnist and fervent alcoholic Jeffrey Bernard.

Locked in his favourite pub, The Coach & Horses in Soho, London, he narrates a story filled with hilarious anecdotes and stylish self–destruction through a series of flashbacks which bring to life numerous characters – played by four supporting cast members – which have populated his world.

Performances are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7.30pm. Tickets cost $15. No one under the age of 18 will be allowed in the theatre. Call the box–office on 949–5054 or visit www.caymandrama.org.ky. The play runs until 3 June.
