The Lady in the Van
By Alan Bennett
Presented at Lyceum
Running time: Approximately 2 hours 5 mins including 20min interval
Alan Bennett has a very unusual neighbour. Parked at the bottom of his garden is a van. With a lady in it.
The lady in the van is Miss Shepherd. Alan knows very little about her. She used to drive ambulances in the war, might have been a nun, sells pencils and pamphlets and has an unexplained aversion to piano music. But somehow she lives in the playwright’s garden and has done for years.
Starring Nichola McAuliffe who played Sheila Sabatini in ITV’s Surgical Spirit and who won an Olivier Award for her role in Kiss Me Kate (RSC), The Lady in the Van was written by Alan Bennett, one of the nation’s best-loved playwrights. His plays include The History Boys, Talking Heads and The Madness of George III.
