Una serie monologhi scritti per la televisione, trasmessi dalla BBC nel 1987 e affidati all'interpretazione di grandi attrici inglesi. E pur essendo, di fatto, una forma a sé, questi monologhi costituiscono la migliore introduzione possibile al mondo di Bennett, dove le leggi della logica prima o poi si incagliano su un dettaglio incongruo, finendo per ritorcersi contro chi cercava di applicarle.

Cosa succede quando la regina Elisabetta II scopre casualmente il piacere della lettura? Quando Sua Maestà, per finire in pace un libro, arriva in ritardo a tutti gli appuntamenti ufficiali? Scene esilaranti, descritte con ironia e raffinatezza, che si concludono con un grande colpo di scena finale.

Non era rimasto nulla, niente di niente. Non solo i gioielli: i ladri si erano portati via proprio tutto, forno con arrosto, moquette, abiti e persino il rotolo della carta igienica. Un appartamento completamente ripulito è quello che si trovano di fronte i signori Ransome al rientro da una serata all'opera; un riazzeramento della vita che porta l'agiato avvocato londinese e la sua pacata signora a reazioni esilaranti e diametralmente opposte. E ancora una volta Bennett si conferma maestro del comico e dell'arte del narrare.

Chi accetterebbe mai di ospitare per diciotto anni nel giardino di casa propria una anziana barbona e il furgone debordante di rifiuti che ne costituisce il domicilio? Oltretutto Miss Shepherd non è una vecchina che susciti tenerezza: è grande e grossa, scontrosa, bislacca, poco incline alla gratitudine. Porta una sottana fatta di stracci per la polvere, occhiali da sole verdi e, a mo’ di cappello, un cestino di paglia ottagonale. Si fa scarrozzare per la città su una sedia a rotelle ed emana un insopportabile fetore. Chi mai accetterebbe una così perturbante prossimità?

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast production of one of the earliest plays by Alan Bennett. The 1970s are a time of change, but Labour MP George Oliver feels stuck in one place: distrusting the ‘mawkish mentality’ of the young and fearing the encroaching life of the middle-aged, with little to look forward to but the imminent end of a not-very-interesting road.

Die Hunde sind schuld. Beim Spaziergang mit der Queen rennen sie los, um den allwöchentlich in einem der Palasthöfe parkenden Bücherbus der Bezirksbibliothek anzukläffen. "Ma’am" ist zu gut erzogen, um sich nicht bei dem Bibliothekar zu entschuldigen, leiht sich ebenfalls aus Höflichkeit ein Buch aus - und kommt auf den Geschmack. Von da an deckt sie sich jede Woche mit Lesestoff ein.

Bennett was one of several journalists to fly a night raid over Berlin in November 1943. This is the vivid testimony of an American journalist shot down over Berlin. After he was captured in Berlin, he was taken on a tour of Germany and shown what the civilian population was being subjected to. Bennett spent the rest of the war in Stalag Luft I, where he started the newspaper POW WOW, secretly read by 9,000 prisoners. Bennett's experiences led him to condemn the Allied policy of systematically bombing civilian population centers.

One spring morning, Mole surfaces into the sunlight and warm grass of a great meadow. Rambling busily along the hedgerows, he comes to the edge of a river. Mole is entranced.
