Six more monologues from Britain's foremost writer delivered by the nation's favorite performers.
In these six new pieces Alan Bennett retains the gripping stories, intensity of delivery, and masterly style of his original monologues. The suburban normality of the world his characters inhabit once again belies their lives of secrets, revelations, fears, crimes, and passions. They tell their stories, and in doing so reveal more than they know of the humour, passion, and sadness of their lives.
Alongside the original pieces, these superb monologues form one of the great contributions to television drama.

"Thirteen sad monologues, all with a twist. More happens in what is unsaid than what is said. Not a good idea to read too many in one sitting - moreish as they are - otherwise they meld a little too much. " — Cecily (5 out of 5 stars)

" Perfection - a fantastic read. "
" this bok is not the same standard as the first. "
" Follow up to the original Talking Heads which I also read this month. Once again very well written and as Bennett himself says more miserable then the original! "
" Some good short monologues in here but in general the quality is not as good as the first Talking heads book. The endings of the stories in this volume are a bit abrupt and doesn't tie the stories up as well as its predessor. "
" I loved this collection of monologues told from the perspective of some very eccentric British characters. Bennett is a magnificent story-teller. "
" The Complete "Talking Heads" by Alan Bennett (2001) "
" In Bennetts talking heads, hilarity and glum go perfectly well. "
