The Library Touring Company presents two of Alan Bennett’s much loved monologues, ‘A Lady of Letters’ and ‘Bed among the Lentils’ performed by Deborah Kelly

Lady of Letters

Miss Ruddock’s civil liberties are dear to her, and writing letters is how she likes to assert those rights. One of these missives pushes her to the brink, with unexpected, but liberating consequences

Bed Among the Lentils

Susan, an alcoholic, nervous vicar’s wife who has to travel into Leeds to go to the off-licence because of her debts with the local shop keeper, distracts herself from her ambitious, and, as she sees him, vainly insensitive husband and his doting parishioners by conducting an affair with a nearby grocer, Ramesh, discovering something about herself and God in the process.
