Lady in the Van

Lady in the Van | Alan Bennett

5 posts | 2 read | 3 to read

Adapted by the author from his autobiographical memoir, The Lady in the Van tells the story of Miss Mary Shepherd, whom Alan Bennett first came across when she was living in the street near his home in Camden Town. Taking refuge with her van in his garden originally for three months, she ended up staying fifteen years. Funny, touching and unexpectedly spectacular, The Lady in the Van marked the return to the stage of one of our leading playwrights. The Lady in the Van with Maggie Smith opened at the Queen's Theatre, London, in December 1999.

Lady in the Van | Alan Bennett

Pick

One of my all time favorite authors wrote this amazing short read about a (mostly) true experience of having a woman live outside his London home for a few months. It also has a great movie adaptation. This is a great introduction to one of the UK‘s finest playwrights and authors, imo, and a lasting unique writing voice that is humble, relatable, entertaining, and soothing in some ways. 5 stars!!
