Writing Home

di Alan Bennett (Autore)

Alex Jennings (Narratore)

Faber & Faber, 2026

Writing Home is the first of four wonderfully entertaining collections of Alan Bennett's prose. Bringing together Alan Bennett's diaries for 1980-1995 and the journal he kept during the production of Forty Years On starring John Gielgud, the book also includes accounts of his many television plays, the introduction to his Oscar-nominated screenplay for The Madness of King George and, at its heart, The Lady in the Van, the true account of Miss Mary Shepherd, a homeless tramp who took up residence in Bennett's garden and stayed for fifteen years. From his now-legendary address at Russell Harty's memorial service to recollections of growing up in Leeds, Writing Home gives us an unforgettable portrait of one of England's leading playwrights. Writing Home is the first of four collections, and is followed by Untold Stories, Keeping On Keeping and, most recently, the number 1 Sunday Times bestseller, Enough Said. Like Enough Said, it is narrated by Alex Jennings, who has also portrayed Alan Bennett on stage and screen.
