Alan Bennett - Talking Heads (2005 BBC Audiobooks Ltd UK)

The first collection of six individual portraits from the master of monologue.

Performed by the author and five of Britain’s leading actresses, Alan Bennett’s tales are full of quirky, insightful detail that bring the character’s vividly to life.

From Julie Walters’ portrayal of an actress seeking fame to Anna Massey’s alcoholic vicar’s wife, these individuals are linked by their self-delusion, desperation and vulnerability.

In these compelling pieces, Bennett displays the wry observation, knowing irony and tender understatement that have ensured his rightful place at the forefront of contemporary writing.

Talking Heads was originally broadcast on BBC1 in 1987. The monologues on this CD were re-recorded in 1991 and broadcast on BBC Radio 4.
