Read about the Play
Like its owner, Lady Dorothy Stacpoole’s stately home has seen better days. Both are in an advanced state of decay: the house is cold, damp and neglected, while Dorothy – once a successful fashion model - now sports a moth-eaten fur coat and plimsolls.
Her younger sister, a bossy archdeacon, wants to hand the house over to the National Trust, but Dorothy has more radical ideas, such as selling it to a sinister commercial concern or renting it out as a location for porn films…
First performed at the National in 2012, ‘People’ is Alan Bennett at his best: elegiac yet satiric, provocative yet poignant and wickedly funny.
