... I find with Bennett’s work that I read in character and this is no exception… every piece is read in the voice of the performer (Alan Bennett, Maggie Smith, Patricia Routledge, Julie Walters, Stephanie Cole and Thora Hird). Ten years after this series of Talking Heads, Bennett released ... Read review
