The Play’s The Thing Theatre Company presents Alan Bennett’s “Talking Heads”

Graham in A Chip in The Sugar is unable to function without his mother. When his mother re-kindles a friendship with a past flame, Mr Turnbull, Graham is jealous and protective of his mother.  He would never admit that he is married to his mother but by the end of the play will he seek his independence and admit his sexuality?

Susan in Bed Among The Lentils is an alcoholic who later finds solace and intimacy in an affair with an Asian grocer, Mr Ramesh. However, by the end of the piece Susan is even more trapped as her success in kicking the demon drink means she is completely at the mercy of the vicar Geoffrey and his fan club. As she says “I never liked going to one church and I end up going to two”.
