Talking Heads

Wednesday 1st - Saturday 4th November 2017
by Alan Bennett,

Directed by Kate Sheffield

This Autumn's production will be Talking Heads by Alan Bennett. It was written as a series of monologues performed originally by such as Maggie Smith and Patricia Routledge. We are to perform three from the first series.

Each one tells a story from the character's own point of view, of the people and situations which surrounds him or her. The story telling defines each personality and the opinions and attitudes each holds.
As observers, we can see both humour and tragedy and a distinct picture of both the speaker and those spoken of.

Box Office

Tickets will be available via the Box Office from Monday 4^th September 2017.

Performance

Performances start at 7.30pm prompt, the bar will be serving refreshments from 7.00pm and during the interval.
