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
