Friday 29th January to Saturday 6th February at 7.30pm
by Ben Elton
Directed by David Thompson
Doris Wallis is the queen of the tabloid press and in her own words 'a nasty cow who slaughters sacred cows'. Bitchy, brassy and bolshie, she writes a venomous TV column that specializes in slagging off celebrities. So poisonous that - as she tells her mousy secretary, Peggy - 'bogeymen get scared imagining me under their beds'. Her bitchiness is her career and her career is on the way up. On the verge of a glorious venture into TV, she's not going to let anyone get in her way, not even the 'silly talentless old cow' who is currently suing her for libel. And any other skeletons she may have in her cupboard are (like her bondage gear) firmly locked up, or so she thinks...
Today should be the most important day in Doris's life, though sadly it's time for a little retribution. Mr Elton takes us on a bare knuckle ride through his simple yet ingenious satirical comedy that is populated with oddballs and misfits, and packed with razor sharp and very cheeky dialogue.
Contains some adult humour
