Alan Bennett monologues to come to Sheringham Little Theatre

Sheringham Little Theatre will host the performance on Saturday, February 28, with two of Bennett's Talking Heads monologues performed back-to-back by North Norfolk actresses.

Both pieces offer a window into the lives of women navigating complex emotions and everyday struggles.

Sarah Westlake from Southrepps will perform A Cream Cracker Under the Settee, portraying the fiercely independent widow Doris.

Ms Westlake said Doris’ determination and humour shine through even in her vulnerable moments.

She said: "She’s very houseproud and uses her true northern grit to try to remain as independent as possible – determined not to be in old people’s home.

"It’s a sad story but told through brilliant wit and observation."

A Bed Among the Lentils tells the story of Susan, a vicar’s wife who finds unexpected comfort at a grocery store.

Both monologues are directed by Libby Henshaw.

Performances will take place at 2.30pm and 7.30pm.
