O knihe

Gambler, journalist, fervent alcoholic and four-times married Jeffrey Bernard
writes the "Low Life" column for the Spectator magazine chronicling
Soho life as well as offering a very personal philosophy on vodka, women
and race-courses. From this, Keith Waterhouse has brilliantly constructed
a play (the title being the euphemism used by the Spectator when Bernard
is incapable of writing his column) which is set in the saloon bar of Bernard's
favourite Soho pub, the Coach and Horses. Having passed out in the
lavatory, Bernard awakes in the early hours of the morning to find himself
alone and in the dark. Unable to contact the landlord, he is resigned to
spending the rest of the night with a bottle of vodka and an endless chain
of cigarettes, narrating a story of hilarious anecdotes and witty reminiscences
which are enacted by two actors and two actresses who bring to life
the various characters who populate Jeff 's world. Starring Peter O'Toole,
later succeeded by Tom Conti then James Bolam, the play enjoyed a hugely
successful run at the Apollo Theatre, London.
