Alan Bennett

Published by Faber & Faber

Large Mixed Cast
"People spoil things; there are so many of them and the last thing one wants is them traipsing through one's house. But with the park a jungle and a bath on the billiard table, what is one to do?"

Dorothy's archdeacon sister wants to hand over the family estate to the care of the National Trust

But Dorothy favours a more creative solution ...

"A sale? Why not? Release all your wonderful treasures onto the open market and they are there for everyone to enjoy. It's a kind of emancipation, a setting them free to range the world ... a saleroom here, an exhibition there. Art, Lady Stacpoole, is a rover"

What could possibly go wrong?

As with Alan Bennett's previous two plays, The History Boys and The Habit of Art, People premiered at the UK's National Theatre directed by Nicholas Hytner
