Description
Alan Bennett's Two Besides brings two new monologues to his acclaimed Talking Heads series. Written during the coronavirus lockdown in 2020, these performances showcase ordinary women navigating life's unexpected twists and turns. A mother's actions have far-reaching consequences, while a roadside shrine holds secrets of its own. The book features substantial prefaces by Nicholas Hytner and introductions by Alan Bennett, providing insight into each monologue. Recorded for the BBC during lockdown, these new Talking Heads performances demonstrate Bennett's skill in crafting devastating portraits of grief. This collection offers a poignant exploration of life's complexities, as two women find ways to cope with their circumstances.
