Description
Alan Bennett's Writing Home is a unique and entertaining collection of his prose writings, bringing together diaries, reminiscences, and reviews to create a vivid portrait of the playwright's life and work. The book covers the production of his first play, Forty Years On, as well as his television series 'Talking Heads' and his involvement in the 1960s revue 'Beyond the Fringe'. At its heart is the true story of Miss Mary Shepherd, a homeless tramp who took up residence in Bennett's garden and stayed for fifteen years, as told in The Lady in The Van. This new edition also includes Bennett's introduction to his Oscar-nominated screenplay for The Madness of King George and his more recent diaries.
