About the author

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.

My favourite thing about this play was all of the great stuff in there about socialism and the difference between socialists and conservatives. Given Bennett’s upbringing, he’s in pretty much the perfect place to make comments on both of them, and it was refreshing to read an older play with political undertones that still holds up well today. And some of the lines made me laugh out loud.

i must admit reading this in a grp we would occasionly get abit lost what was going on but that was we had big breaks in between reading but saying that it was pretty easy to get back into with in jokes at each seesion as like all plays prob better to see on stage but was pretty telling with its quips at everyday political life !!! looking forward to reading more
