Entertainment Events hits the road…

Alan Bennett's Talking Head's monologues became famous in the late 1980s when they were recorded and broadcast by the BBC, the performances being given by noted actors including the author himself. The monologues are universally hailed for their combination of razor-sharp wit and deeply felt humanity and have been re-recorded and performed on stage countless times over the last thirty years. Their humour remains as fresh and their subjects as engaging today as the day they were written.

Entertainment Events presents two of the Talking Heads series, performed by Hampshire based actor, John Lofthouse.

A chip in the sugar tells the story of Graham - a middle-aged man who lives with his mother. Their comfortable existence is shaken to the core when Graham's mother meets an old flame who proposes marriage.

In A bed among the lentils, we meet Susan - an alcoholic Vicar's wife who, through escaping her insensitive husband and her debts at the local off-licence, begins an affair with an Indian grocer.
