Lady In The Van (french's Acting Editions) [Paperback]

Characters: 9 males, 5 females

Scenery: Various sets

Alan Bennett draws from his memoirs to offer a dramatized account of the genteel vagrant, Miss Shepard, who parked her van in his driveway for fifteen years. Maggie Smith starred in London's West End.

A wonderfully bittersweet comic diary of the years in which a lethally dotty and very smelly old bat parked her unroadworthy vehicle in Bennett's Camden garden, thereby providing him with roughly equal amounts of good journalistic copy and guilty landlord irritation. -Spectator

Hilarious...A consistently enjoyable entertainment. -The New York Times

Without doubt, the best new play of the year. -Daily Telegraph

Bennett's writing is nimble, ironical, cruel and humane...Gives the West End one of its saddest, funniest, and most distinguished offerings for years. -London Times
