They are back, the quirky British characters of Alan Bennett! This time, the master of bitter satire tells the story of a money-hungry antique dealer who lets a genuine Michelangelo slip through her fingers, a park keeper with a dark past, a middle-aged woman who finds fulfillment in foot massages while making a fetishist happy, a shady butcher who only pretends to walk the guard dog, nights in Spanish gardens that Mrs. Horrocks would rather not dream of, and an elderly lady waiting for the Queen's congratulatory telegram on her hundredth birthday—while reminiscing about the field post from the war. Once again, Bennett demonstrates his class: in just a few strokes, he sketches entire life stories in a confined space—such as the life and death of Peggy Schofield, an insignificant person.
