Acclaimed British writer Alan Bennett penned a groundbreaking series of darkly funny monologues, grouped under the title Talking Heads, that were broadcast on BBC-TV starting in 1988.
Alumnae Theatre is producing three of the series, directed by Mat Howard.
A Lady of Letters is told by a busybody neighbour and compulsive letter writer. Her Big Chance follows the adventures of a hilariously self-deluded actress. Miss Fozzard Finds Her Feet is about an ordinary lady who unexpectedly finds a little joy in her rather sad life.”In these monologues, Alan Bennett gives us a window into the lives of three eccentric, isolated women who overcome their own self-imposed limitations to achieve happiness, or at least their own version of it!”
