Otley Players present: Alan Bennett’s ‘Talking Heads’
Advance Price: £9
Otley Players are delighted to be returning to the Courthouse and performing two of Alan Bennett’s brilliant monologues from Talking Heads.
Woman of no Importance, first performed in 1982,explores the loneliness and mortality of a middle-aged woman, Peggy Schofield. Persistently cheerful, blind to the feelings of others and, at heart, terribly lonely, Peggy is at once a richly comic and desperately moving creation, that highlights Bennett’s genius for crafting characters.
“Her Big Chance,’ The story follows Lesley, an actress who has just completed a video (‘targeted chiefly on West Germany’) in which she plays Travis, a career girl who enjoys life, spends a remarkable amount of time topless and shoots a man with a harpoon gun. Its Bennett at his best as he analyzes the themes of ambition, vulnerability, and exploitation within the entertainment industry.
