Like everything Bennett does, these stories are playful, witty and
painfully observant of ordinary people's foibles. They all have
brilliant twists, are immensely entertaining and highly moral. And
all are modern classics. The Laying on of Hands The painfully
observant account of a memorial service for a masseur to the
famous. The Clothes They Stood Up In The comic tale of an elderly
couple's trials after their flat is stripped completely bare.
Father! Father! Burning Bright The savage satire on the family of a
dying man who rules over them from his hospital bed. The Lady in
the Van The true story of the eccentric old woman who is invited to
live in a homeowner's front garden. She stays there, in her van,
for fifteen years. The home is Alan Bennett's. It became a West End
hit and a major film, starring Maggie Smith.
