Description
'We have, in the nick of time, a Play of the Year: Alan Bennett's The Lady in the Van is 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 a roughly equal amount of journalistic copy and guilty landlordly irritation.
Sheridan Morley, Spectator
Gorgeously repackaged edition of Alan Bennett's much-loved play The Lady in the Van, published to coincide with his eightieth birthday.
