A DARK tale of the nasty intrigues of office politics makes David Brent look positively angelic. Disciplinary Action, which opened yesterday at the Greenwich Playhouse, is a satirical adult comedy set in the executive offices of a City banking firm.

The show stars Chris Finch, the actor best-known for playing Todd Grimshaw's turbulent love interest in Coronation Street.

Madeleine Feather plays the sexy secretary.

Inefficient egomaniac vice-chairman Nigel Pilchard faces more than just another day at the office when he finds himself in the frame for the grotesque murder of the company CEO.

The play is written by Len Emmerson and directed by Lorrie Sheehy.

Disciplinary Action, until February 5, Greenwich Playhouse, Greenwich High Road, Tues-Sat 7.30pm, Sundays 4pm, tickets £10/£9 concs, call 020 8858 9256 or email boxoffice@galleontheatre.co.uk
