Synopsis:
Writing Home is a wonderfully entertaining collection of Alan Bennett's prose writings. His television series 'Talking Heads' has become a modern-day classic; as part of the 1960s revue 'Beyond the Fringe' Bennett helped to kick-start the English satire revolution, and has since remained one of our leading dramatists. Writing Home brings together diaries, reminiscences and reviews to give us a unique and unforgettable portrait of one of England's leading playwrights. This new edition includes Bennett's introduction to his Oscar-nominated screenplay for The Madness of King George and his more recent diaries.
