Customer Reviews

Excellent work this man is a comic genius.

If your the type of person that enjoys unsubtle in your face obvious humour you'll love this book. Habeas Corpus is the best play in the book, it covers a range of characters all interlinked with sex and the human body. Excellent topic coverage!

Alan Bennett speaks to your head and heart...

Alan Bennett, master of stage & screen (both big and small) and recently with WRITING HOME very entertaining on the printed page, has covered so much emotional "turf" in his writing that it is very impressive to see the plays collected side-by-side. By turns hilarious and heart-breaking (read: 40 Years On) one can only marvel at his talent, envy his breadth, and wait impatiently for the next project to be produced. Heartily recommended to all who care about the legitimate theatre.
