Silly cow

Description

First presented in 1991 at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, London, 'Silly Cow' is a slick, razor-tongued modern satire on the viciousness of tabloid journalism, with an ingeniously dramatic dénouement. Newspaper columnist and reviewer Doris is being sued by an actress after savaging the respected thespian with accusations of small talent and large thighs. Unworried, Doris has got a job offer, a plan for a tv show, and the cleavage to help the judge see things her way. But she is about to discover that even journalists cannot escape reaping what they have sown, and that there is nothing quite as dramatic as an actress's revenge.
