Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Already a bestseller, this is a wonderfully entertaining collection of Alan Bennett's prose writings. as part of the 1960s revue 'Beyond the Fringe' Bennett helped to kick-start the English satire revolution, and has since remained one of our leading dramatists, most recently with The History Boys at the National Theatre.
