One of my favourite monlogues by the legendary Alan Bennett... I've been performing this on and off for some time, and finally decided to record it and put it on youtube. Hope you like it.

  • LOL! Nice one very funny! Am a huge Bennett fan and that's funny! Sounds great!

  • @fraserkatie thanks. I really have to slow it down though -will have to re-do this at some point... practice makes perfect as Mam would say... :D

  • wonderful ..one of the finest pieces of writing by Alan Bennett, you do this well... sometimes i find it haunting,whenever ive spent too long with mother, i find myself thinking about this.. can i just say, it is a tad too fast.. but you capture it well.

  • @BlondeRocknRoll Thanks muchly - yep, I had that problem... I also did a 'live' one for a play and really had to slow it down. I'll have to update sometime! :)

  • a bit too fast though .............lol

  • @TTTRRRAAA3 yep... it only dawned on me that, after I'd finished it - a bit slower next time! :)

see all

  • we had to study this shite in English A level

  • well done, one of my favorites, thanks.

  • I really like A Chip in the Sugar. "I love you, give us your teeth I'll swill them". This is beautifully read but as the others said it's a bit fast.

  • What I like about this is is it catches every aspect of the repression and misery inherent in all Bennett works (and, by implication, in the UK as a whole)

  • when they were wheeling him into the theatre lol , i had to laff

  • I've been told I sound like an Alan Bennett monologue
