Produktbeschreibung

The complete Olivier Award-winning monologue series from one of Britain's most renowned playwrights: "A masterclass in storytelling." - Guardian, UK Talking Heads is a classic of contemporary drama. In Bed Among the Lentils, a vicar's wife discovers a semblance of happiness with an Indian shop owner. In A Chip in the Sugar, a man's life begins to unravel when he discovers his aging mother has rekindled an old flame.

These extraordinary portraits of ordinary people confirm Alan Bennett's place as one of the most gifted, versatile, and important writers in the English Language.
