21st December 2007 Plain Clothes Theatre Productions has won Venue Magazine's BEST PLAY OF 2007 award, topping what has been an extremely successful year for the company. The show was first performed in Bristol at the Alma Tavern in February and March. In October we took the show to the Cheltenham Everyman. Both runs of the show were performed to sell-out audiences and excellent reviews. Venue writes: "Splendidly, the best play we saw this year was written by a Bristol Uni graduate and performed by an emerging local outfit in the resolutely Bristolian surroundings of the Alma Tavern pub theatre. Plain Clothes Theatre's version of Laura Wade's 'Breathing Corpses', a black comedy in which disparate characters were connected by a series of macabre deaths, was nothing short of electric."
