Description

Alan Bennett draws from his memoirs to offer a dramatized account of the genteel vagrant, Miss Shepard, who parked her van in his driveway for fifteen years. Maggie Smith starred in London’s West End.

A wonderfully bittersweet comic diary of the years in which a lethally dotty and very smelly old bat parked her unroadworthy vehicle in Bennett’s Camden garden, thereby providing him with roughly equal amounts of good journalistic copy and guilty landlord irritation.” – Spectator

“Hilarious…A consistently enjoyable entertainment.” – The New York Times

“Without doubt, the best new play of the year.” – Daily Telegraph

“Bennett’s writing is nimble, ironical, cruel and humane…Gives the West End one of its saddest, funniest, and most distinguished offerings for years.” – London Times
