Britain’s most celebrated comic playwright, Alan Bennett ("The History Boys," "Habit of Art"), debuts his new comedy at the National Theatre. Nicholas Hytner directs a cast that includes Tony and Olivier Award-winner Frances de la Tour.
Frances de la Tour stars as Dorothy, a former 1960s model and regal owner of a decaying stately home she can no longer afford. As she contemplates her future, Dorothy is wooed by the National Trust, a slick auctioneer, and a roguish porn filmmaker.
