Distracted Stages
Extracts from a trilogy of one act plays

Alan Bennett’s plays are famous for their humour and poignancy. “The Old Country” is no exception. It is both entertaining and uncomfortable in its study of irony and some of the worst attributes of Britishness. Six characters each with their own agenda tread the boards together and expose themselves to the audience as a dysfunctional group of people with various skeletons in their cupboards. The result is an excellent play, intelligently crafted and full of the wit that we come to expect from the pen of Alan Bennett.
This play was really different from our usual plays and the cast found it very challenging but enjoyable.
A mixture of comments from our audiences but the majority said that they enjoyed it
We are looking forward to our next production
