About the book
Alan Bennett is the acknowledged master of the television play. This vintage collection of his work from the 1970s illustrates his skill and mastery of the medium from the beginning. Perceptive, poignant, truthful and very funny, the work here gives as much enjoyment in the reading as it did in the viewing, and provides a welcome addition to the Bennett canon.
The television plays included are
A Day Out,
Sunset Across the Bay,
A Visit from Miss Prothero,
Me, I'm Afraid of Virginia Woolf,
Green Forms,
The Old Crowd and
Afternoon Off. This volume contains a new general introduction by Alan Bennett, as well as the original preface by Lindsay Anderson to
The Old Crowd.
A companion volume of Alan Bennett's work from the late 1970s and early 1980s is published as
Rolling Home.
