“The West End is buzzing with excitement as the legendary Robert Bathurst returns to the spotlight in the immersive production of ‘Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell’. After a massively successful run in 2023, Bathurst is back by popular demand, gracing the stage of his favorite Soho haunt, the iconic Coach and Horses pub.

This one-of-a-kind production offers an intimate experience as audiences get to witness Bathurst, known for his roles in ‘Cold Feet’, ‘Downton Abbey’, and ‘Toast of London’, in a captivating portrayal of Jeffrey Bernard. The play, penned by Keith Waterhouse, delves into the life of Bernard, a famed journalist and Soho regular known for his disregard for deadlines and love for vodka.

The setting couldn’t be more fitting – the Coach and Horses, a staple in the Soho community and Bernard’s preferred spot for his late-night escapades. The play takes an intriguing turn as Bernard, having dozed off in the Gents, wakes up to find himself locked inside the pub. What follows is a series of hilarious and heartfelt monologues, as Bernard recounts tales of his tumultuous life – from failed marriages to illicit cat-racing.

Bathurst’s performance is nothing short of spectacular, embodying the essence of Bernard with every line delivered. The audience is not just watching a play; they are part of Bernard’s world, sharing in his humor, heartache, and the whimsy of his late-night Soho adventures.

The show’s director, James Hillier, and producer, Mitchell Reeve of M. Green Productions, have created an atmosphere that is both immersive and engaging, perfectly capturing the spirit of Soho and the essence of Waterhouse’s writing. The production not only celebrates the life of Jeffrey Bernard but also pays homage to the rich cultural tapestry of Soho.
