Silly Cow by Ben Elton
Doris Wallace has everything a tough tabloid columnist could want: a toy boy with a regular supply of Colombian, a pretty personal assistant who might share her libidinous preferences, and the prospect of her own television show. Being sued by an actress for libel is a petty annoyance, but Doris puts her in her place by revealing her ample cleavage as she flirts with the judge and spouts populist bravado. She is ready to celebrate her victory in court when things begin to go wrong: television materials are missing, a pal she double crossed wants revenge, her accountant is about to pull a fast one and those she has defamed in her column tie her to a chair during her show and dish out the kind of humiliation she inflicts on others. This is a hilarious play by the author of 1998's Lawrence Olivier Award-winning Popcorn.Ben Elton's career as a performer and a writer has included some of the most memorable and biting comedies of the last two decades. His TV credits include The Young Ones, Blackadder, and The Thin Blue Line, in addition to his stand-up work. Stark, Gridlock, This Other Eden, Popcorn, Blast From The Past, Inconceivable, and Dead Famous are some of his novels. Ben Elton, his wife Sophie, and their three children live in London.
