Summary: Patricia Routledge at Her Best
Review: I'm one of a few Americans blessed with a multi-system VHS/DVD player so I was able to view these monologues in their original UK VHS import release. These are 3 monologues written by Alan Bennett...they were originally produced for a BBC TV series called Talking Heads.
The monologues are 30 minutes in length each and are very entertaining and engaging. Included are: MISS FOZZARD FINDS HER FEET: A lady has an affair with a chiropodist A LADY OF LETTERS: A lonely busy body who keeps occupied by writing letters to complain about everything and everybody. A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE: A woman's life changes after she is 20 minutes late for lunch. All these monologues show Patricia Routledge performing at her best...and what a range of tallent she has. If your looking for Hyacinth...stick to Keeping up Appearances...but if you want to see Patricia in a range of emotion in some very interesting and entertaining monologues then this DVD is a must for any Patricia Routledge or British tv fan. Just a note: Talking Heads and Talking Heads 2 is available from Amazon UK in two 3 cd box sets and is worth purchasing also...it's a great listen with many more monologues included and performed by some of the UK's best female actors: Eileen Atkins, Thora Hird,
Stephanie Cole, Julie Walters and many more.
