Alan Bennett 's acclaimed monologue starring
Patricia Routledge , showing as a taster to tomorrow's evening of programmes celebrating the writer and his work.
A middle-aged spinster reminisces about her uncomplicated world of office work and canteen gossip. But as the three acts unfurl, her apparently cheerful monologue reveals an uneventful life that is falling apart.
