Highly entertaining

Alan Bennett has such a warm and self-deprecating presence. A joy to be in his presence. These plays are semi-autobiographic, where narrator--Bennett--interacts with character--Bennett in present and paste tense. You'll laugh!

Excellent plays, no chapter labels.

Love Alan Bennett, Excellent BBC productions. Enjoyment is reduced due to very lazy production by Audible. Long list of numbered chapters, no identification of play title, sometimes not even mentioned at the opening of the play. The plays are often divided over multiple chapters with no labeling.
