The Play’s the Thing Theatre Company presents two classic monologues from Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads:
A Lady Of Letters
Irene Ruddock is not afraid to speak, or rather write, her mind about society’s faults. She writes to her MP, the Queen, the police, the local crematorium and the chemist – in fact everyone she can to suggest how to remedy these ills. When she suspects a neighbouring couple of child abuse though things become very serious.
Soldiering On
Stoicism is seen as a particular strength of the British character and no-one is more stoical than Muriel who we meet just after husband Ralph’s funeral. She’s part of the posh “country set” and Ralph has left her a very rich widow, but there’s a liquidity problem according to son Giles and Ralph was apparently not all he seemed either.
