The Lady In The Van, 2 Audio-CDs (Audio book) - Dramatisation

Maggie Smith reprises her stage role in this remarkable new version of Alan Bennett s play as heard on BBC Radio 4.

An eccentric old lady moves into a quiet street in Camden Town. There she remains, installed in her van in glorious self-sufficiency, until the council instructs her to move on. A kind homeowner invites her to move her van into his garden. A bizarre tale in itself, but when the homeowner is writer Alan Bennett and the lady stays for 15 years, it s a tale that provides the raw material for a book and a stage play.

This is the fascinating story of Miss Shepherd, the genteel vagrant who found a unique place in Alan Bennett s life and writing.

Adapted from his stage play and directed by Gordon House, this new version stars Maggie Smith, Alan Bennett and Adrian Scarborough. Truly brilliant and totally unmissable - Radio Times
