A Night In Little Grimley
The Carlton Little Theatre, Birkenhead
Another helping of 3 of Alan Bennett's classic Talking Heads monologues.
A Bed Among the Lentils - Susan is a vicar’s wife suffocated by the expectations forced on her by her position and her husband’s over-zealous parishioners. In frustration, she embarks on an affair with the off-licence owner, Ramesh, discovering something about herself and God in the process.
Soldiering On - Muriel's husband Ralph has just died, leaving her rather well off - until, that is, her son Giles gets his hands on the money...
A Cream Cracker Under the Settee - Doris, a widow, lives alone. Refusing to relinquish her independence, she surreptitiously cleans when her home help, Zulema, is absent. Doris reminisces about her life with its joys and sadnesses.
