'TALKING HEADS'
by Alan Bennett
28th January - 1st February 2025.
We present three plays from the famous collection by Alan Bennett, who recently celebrated his 90th birthday.
We are featuring:
'A Lady of Letters'
'A Chip in the Sugar'
'Her Big Chance'
'A Lady of Letters'- Meet Irene, she writes letters - not, unfortunately, social communications filled with harmless news, but letters of complaint, comment and, occasionally, officious praise to various businesses and government departments. She complains about the lack of care she assumes the child living opposite is receiving and ends up in trouble. There, ironically, Irene finds freedom and is, for possibly the first time, happy. (Featuring Karen Ward as Irene).
'A Chip in the Sugar'- Meet Graham, a middle-aged bachelor, chronically dependent on his mother, finds life difficult enough at the best of times. When Mother meets an old flame and seems set to marry him, Graham's old insecurities rear their ugly heads. (Featuring Nicholas Worthington as Graham).
'Her Big Chance'- Meet Lesley, an actress. She has just completed a video ('targeted chiefly on West Germany') in which she plays Travis, a career girl who enjoys life, and shoots a man with a harpoon gun! (Featuring Alex Haymes as Lesley).
All tickets are £8.00 each* (no concessions) and will be available on-line from 8:00am on Saturday 4th January 2025
