ALAN Bennett and Huddersfield Thespians is the mix on offer at the Lawrence Batley Theatre this week.

The Thespians are staging six of Bennett’s Talking Heads series of monologues.

They are being staged all week with the plays grouped together in threes on different evenings so that over two nights you can see all six. Alternatively, make a day of it on Saturday and see three at the matinee and the final trio in the evening.

Two of the Thespians most experienced directors, Julie Root and Alistair Cheetham, are in charge with six performers, Derek Smith, Pauline Sykes, Maria Sykes, Christine Davies, Laura Womersley and Moyra Miller delivering the monologues.
