As Seen On Masterpiece Theatre

Alan Bennett (The Madness Of King George) is one of Britain's most treasured writers. His acclaimed monologues-poignant, funny, warm, tragic-crackle with wry observations, knowing irony and tender understanding. In superb performances, Patricia Routledge reaches beneath the surface to reveal unexpected secrets. In these compelling stories, what is left unsaid is almost as important as the most intimate revelation.
