Bebington Dramatic Society makes the news

“The characters keep referring to the time and the play is set in real time so we’ve got a clock at the front of the stage to show the deadline approaching.

“Damages is set in a stressful environment where deadlines have to be met so it does contain some strong language.”

The three journalists are stereotypes which are likely to be familiar to anyone who has watched a film or tv drama about a newspaper office. Traditionalist Howard still demands 1950s values while Lister is a working-class Scotsman who clashes with university–educated night editor Bas.

Damages will be performed at the Gladstone Theatre in Port Sunlight from Wednesday, September 9 to Saturday, September 12.

Performances start at 7.30pm. Tickets are £6 from the box office on 643 8757, www.gladstonetheatre.org.uk.

The society’s next production is the comedy Play It Again, Sam in November.
