Athenaeum Masqueraders Talking Heads Sat 28th.Jan.2017 2.30pm | Adults £10
  Alan Bennett sealed his reputation as the master of observation with his series of twelve groundbreaking monologues, originally filmed for BBC Television. | The Athenaeum Masqueraders bring you three of these monologues in this new stage production: “Bed Among The Lentils” - Married to a country vicar, Susan leads a life completely lacking in excitement, and in this monologue she describes her day-to-day activities in minute, often hilarious, detail. “A Chip In The Sugar” - Graham, a middle-aged bachelor, emotionally retarded and 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 again “A Lady Of Letters” - Miss Ruddock 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, with grave consequences. At once darkly comic, tragically poignant and wonderfully uplifting, Talking Heads is widely regarded as a modern classic. www.athmasqueraders.co.uk  |
