Alan Bennetts renowned monologues are remade with an extraordinary British cast with two powerful new pieces added to the collection.

Touching on universal themes such as guilt, grief and isolation, Bennetts masterful monologues have always had a timeless quality. But they feel particularly relevant today.
Bennetts long-term collaborator, director Nicholas Hytner, heads up a superlative creative team. Actors including Jodie Comer, Martin Freeman and Kristin Scott Thomas bring Bennetts haunting work to life with darkly captivating performances. With the actors talking directly to the camera, this is an exceptionally intimate dramatic experience. As the characters unburden their souls, theres nowhere for the actors or audience to hide.
