12 Days of ... Day 10: Hymn and Cocktail Sticks
More Alan Bennett, this time two short, autobiographical pieces. The plays were performed separately at the National Theatre in 2012. Alex takes on the part of Alan Bennett, as he does later in "The Lady in the Van".
"Hymn"was performed accompanied by members of Southbank Sinfonia, "Cocktail Sticks" with a small cast. The two plays later moved to the Duchess Theatre as a double-bill.
More pictures and information at the AJ Archives.
"Cocktail Sticks" was recorded and is available on CD.
