The second collection of six Individual portraits from the master of the monologue
Darker and more intense than the first collection, these six stories uncover the secrets behind ordinary suburban lives. From
Patricia Routledge's
Miss Fozzard,
whose new chiropodist turns out to be rather peculiar, to
Eileen Atkins'
portrayal of an antiques dealer who lets a masterpiece slip through her fingers, the characters come alive through
Bennett's
writing.
These tales of desperation and loneliness are handled with the lightness of touch, compassion and shrewdly observed detail that have made
Alan Bennett
one of the country's best-loved writers.
Miss Fozzard Finds Her Feet with Patricia Routledge
The Hand of God with Eileen Atkins
Playing Sandwiches with David Haig
The Outside Dog with Julie Walters
Nights in the Gardens of Spain with Penelope Wilton
