Bomber Jackson Does Some
A one man play about...... alcohol, prison........... and the hope of a
good breakfast
Just released from a fictional version of Her Majesty's Prison Ford,
Bomber Jackson has half an hour to kill at the train station before he can
start out in search of a new sober life, but looking through the window of
the buffet he 'can almost taste the yellow warmth of the light shining
down on to the optics...'
Often drunk and on the edge of violence, Bomber Jackson seems to embody
the respectable class's worst nightmare but audiences will be surprised to
find themselves drawn to the wit and feeling of the cockney ex-boxer as he
sets out on this most unsteady pilgrim's progress.
Without underplaying the obstacles to redemption for a down and out in
Blair's Britain 'Bomber Jackson Does Some' ends optimistically and has the
audience rooting 100 per cent for it's eponymous hero.
STOP PRESS STOP PRESS
'BOMBER JACKSON' FALLS
FOUL OF PRISON AUTHORITIES
Delighted to be invited to perform to the young prisoners at H.M.P.
Feltham Bob submitted his script in advance when requested
- only to have the show banned by one of the Prison Governors.
Bob Boyton said 'We are currently planning a
performance of the show which will be free to anyone who can prove that
they served time in this notorious prison.'
