About the Show

Sandall and Scott-Thomas perform monologues from Alan Bennett's Talking Heads Series.

The Outside Dog Nadial Fall directs this monologue in which Marjory (Rochenda Sandall) is suspicious of her husband and increasingly irritated by her husband's dog. The Hand of God Jonathan Kent directs this one woman play about Celia (Kristin Scott-Thomas) who runs an antique shop and complains that antique selling has become dominated by those seeking to make a profit.

Critic Reviews (5)

Chintz and terror from Alan Bennett. Rochenda Sandall is sensational as a woman suspicious of her husband’s behaviour, while Kristin Scott Thomas’s genteel dowager revels in nostalgia.'

Fine-tuned psychodramas... “Cosy” is, of course, the word that’s often unfairly applied to Alan Bennett’s intimate psychodramas. There’s certainly nothing twee about the opener in the second double bill at the Bridge.'

...if it lacks some subtlety, Scott Thomas’s portrait is still a compelling one... It’s certainly worth seeing; but it’s Sandall’s savage canine horror story that leaves its mark.'

This is another inspired evening from Nicholas Hytner... Top class acting and top class writing that shows theatre at its best.'
