Alan Bennett: Three Plays

This volume includes Alan Bennett's three classic BBC Radio full-cast Kafka's Dick, Forty Years On and An Englishman Abroad. Kafka's Dick--Bennett's brilliantly clever comedy not only examines the relationship between life and art, but also asks what was Kafka's embarrassing little problem? Forty Years On--Bennett stars in the production of his own acclaimed satirical comedy about a headmaster of Albion House who is retiring and takes part in the end-of-year entertainment for the last time. An Englishman Abroad--This BBC Radio full-cast drama is based on a real-life chance encounter in 1958 between a world-famous spy and a Shakespearean actress.
