A community theatre organisation will perform two of Alan Bennett's popular monologues from his 'Talking Heads' series at the Commemoration Hall in Huntingdon this Friday (October 6). 

  1. Her Big Chance - Meet Lesley, an actress. She has just completed a video ('targeted chiefly on West Germany') in which she plays Travis, a career girl who enjoys life, spends a remarkable amount of time topless and shoots a man with a harpoon gun. She tells all, blind to the sinister undertones of her story as well as to her own self-delusions and gullibility.
  2. A Chip in the Sugar - Graham, a middle-aged bachelor, emotionally unintelligent and chronically dependent on his mother, finds life difficult enough at the best of times. When Mother meets an old flame and seems set to marry him, Graham's old insecurities rear their ugly heads.

The Hunts Post:

Professional actors Natalie Castka and Keith Maddern take on the roles of Lesley and Graham respectively.

 

With a simple set, relying heavily on the actor's storytelling ability, this production promises to be a nostalgic trip back to the eighties as Laugh Out Loud Theatre Company bring these vivacious, troubled and humorous characters to life.

Doors open from 6.15pm for a 7.30pm start.

The performance includes two 45-minute monologues with an interval in-between.

A full bar will be available on the night.

Tickets cost £12 for adults and £10 for children with a recommended age of 12+ due to slightly adult themes.

Tickets are available from www.commhall.org/event-details/talking-heads.
