Part of Series

Una serie monologhi scritti per la televisione, trasmessi dalla BBC nel 1987 e affidati all'interpretazione di grandi attrici inglesi. La comicità di Bennett si sprigiona solitamente da situazioni apparentemente dimesse, ma in questa occasione è andato molto oltre, strappando il massimo di ilarità a un pretesto, anche scenico, ridotto al minimo. E pur essendo, di fatto, una forma a sé, questi monologhi costituiscono la migliore introduzione possibile al mondo di Bennett, dove le leggi della logica prima o poi si incagliano su un dettaglio incongruo, finendo per ritorcersi contro chi cercava di applicarle.

Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name. Alan Bennett is an English author and Tony Award-winning playwright. Bennett's first stage play, Forty Years On, was produced in 1968. Many television, stage and radio plays followed, along with screenplays, short stories, novellas, a large body of non-fictional prose and broadcasting, and many appearances as an actor. Bennett's lugubrious yet expressive voice (which still bears a slight Leeds accent) and the sharp humour and evident humanity of his writing have made his readings of his own work (especially his autobiographical writing) very popular. His readings of the Winnie the Pooh stories are also widely enjoyed.
