Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm one of a few Americans blessed with a multi-system VHS/DVD player so I was able to view these monologues in their original UK VHS import release.
These are 3 monologues written by Alan Bennett...they were originally produced for a BBC TV series called Talking Heads.
The monologues are 30 minutes in length each and are very entertaining and engaging.
Included are:
MISS FOZZARD FINDS HER FEET:
A lady has an affair with a chiropodist
A LADY OF LETTERS:
A lonely busy body who keeps occupied by writing letters to complain about everything and everybody.
A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE:
A woman's life changes after she is 20 minutes late for lunch.
All these monologues show Patricia Routledge performing at her best...and what a range of tallent she has.
If your looking for Hyacinth...stick to Keeping up Appearances...but if you want to see Patricia in a range of emotion in some very interesting and entertaining monologues then this DVD is a must for any Patricia Routledge or British tv fan.
Just a note:
Talking Heads and Talking Heads 2 is available from Amazon UK in two 3 cd box sets and is worth purchasing also...it's a great listen with many more monologues included and performed by some of the UK's best female actors: Eileen Atkins, Thora Hird,
Stephanie Cole, Julie Walters and many more.
