"Alan Bennett is theatre's most treasured National Treasure." —
The Independent (London)
In Miss Fozzard Finds Her Feet, played by Maggie Bunce, a middle-aged store clerk seeking solace from the day to day drudgery of caring for her disabled brother, finds herself unwittingly drawn into a decidedly unorthodox financial arrangement with her chiropodist, who plies her with shoes that she can wear to “mark time on his bottom.”
A Woman of No Importance, played by Phoebe Greyson, is a study in self-deception and the frailties of human nature. Margaret (Peggy) Schofield reigns over the photocopier in a large office complex where she has carved out a comfortable niche. When sudden illness confines her to a hospital, she loses no time in convincing herself that the responsibilities she creates and assumes make her indispensible to the staff. Persistently cheerful, blind to the feelings of others and, at heart, terribly lonely, Peggy is simultaneously comedic and tragic.
