A very English voice
As always Alan Bennett's dramatic output provides suberb entertainment. I especially liked Alan Bennet playing a rather fusty headmaster in 'Forty Year's On' and Michael Gambon playing camping it up as Guy Burgess in 'An Englishman Abroad'. I am not sure however that this very English humour goes down well across the atlantic, though the History Boys is now on Broadway, I understand.

Three first class plays
The first play in the recording, Kafka's Dick, is good, but Forty Years On and An Englishman Abroad are superb. Excellent delivery by the actors, funny and affecting ? Alan Bennett at his best. My only quibble is that I'd like the plays to be down-loaded separately for ease of finding the starting place for the second and third plays.
