The complete Olivier Award-winning monologue series from one of Britain's most renowned playwrights: "A masterclass in storytelling." -- Guardian, UK

Talking Heads is a classic of contemporary drama. In Bed Among the Lentils, a vicar's wife discovers a semblance of happiness with an Indian shop owner. In A Chip in the Sugar, a man's life begins to unravel when he discovers his aging mother has rekindled an old flame. In A Lady of Letters, a busybody pays a price for interfering in her neighbor's life.

First produced for BBC television in 1988 to great critical acclaim, the Talking Heads monologues continue to resonate today with their combination of razor-sharp wit and deeply felt humanity. Over the years they have been performed many times, including on London's West End and at New York City's Minetta Lane Theatre. These extraordinary portraits of ordinary people confirm Alan Bennett's place as one of the most gifted, versatile, and important writers in the English Language.
