Talking Heads by Alan Bennett

Two classic monologues from Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads:

A Lady Of Letters - Irene Ruddock is not afraid to speak, or rather write, her mind about society’s faults. She writes to her MP, the Queen, the police, the local crematorium and the chemist – in fact everyone she can to suggest how to remedy these ills. When she suspects a neighbouring couple of child abuse though, things become very serious.

Soldiering On - Stoicism is seen as a particular strength of the British character and no-one is more stoical than Muriel who we meet just after husband Ralph’s funeral. She’s part of the posh “country set” and Ralph has left her a very rich widow, but there’s a liquidity problem according to son Giles, and Ralph was apparently not all he seemed either.
