Book excerpt: This collection of Alan Bennett's work includes his first play and West End hit, Forty Years On, as well as Getting On, Habeus Corpus, and Enjoy. Forty Years On 'Alan Bennett's most gloriously funny play ... a brilliant, youthful perception of a nation in decline, as seen through the eyes of a home-grown school play ... a classic.' Daily Mail Getting On Winner of the Evening Standard Best Comedy Award in 1971, Getting on is an account of a middle-aged Labour MP, so self-absorbed that he remains blind to the fact that his wife is having an affair with the handyman, his mother-in-law in dying, his son is getting ready to leave home, his best friend thinks him a fool and that to everyone who comes into contact with him he is a self-esteeming joke. Habeus Corpus 'After two elegiac comedies about the decline of old England, Mr Bennett has now written a gorgeously vulgar but densely plotted facre that is a downright celebration of sex and the human body ... a combination of hurtling action with verbal brilliance.' Guardian Enjoy Enjoy uncannily foresaw the attitudes to English working-class life now enshrined in themeparks. 'The classic tug in Bennett between childhod Yorkshire and intellectual sophistication has never been better, or more daringly expressed.' Observer

XXXII On Saturday, March 22, 1913, Forbes-Robertson commenced his farewell performances at Drury Lane, in Hamlet, and invited me to resume my old part (Polonius) with him. Whilst sharing a dressing-room with his brother, Norman Forbes, at the St. James's in January, the latter had made the casual remark, "I don't believe they want my brother, or his plays, in London, but he only intends to lose just so much money." What happened is quite modern history and common knowledge. How the theatre was besieged by crowds night after night, week after week, to witness, not only Hamlet, but nearly all the plays in his repertory. How the records of the theatre, as regards receipts, were equalled, and (I was told) exceeded, and the nightly demonstrations of respect and affection for our foremost actor are amongst the happiest incidents of the modern stage. The Press on Hamlet, generally, and to me personally, were as favourable as ever. The business continued enormous for nearly the whole of the eleven weeks, and our star's banking account must have been very substantially increased, where a loss was considered possible. I was only engaged for Polonius, but through a disappointment in the case of a gentleman who had engaged to play IagO, I undertook that part at a short notice (May 19, and twice afterwards), with every evi Photo] [" The Daily Mirror" SIR JOHNSTON FORBES-ROBERTSON AS HAMLET AND J.

Never was a theatrical knighthood more welcome or popular. And then came the last night and final farewell, June 6, 1913, when the prices of seats were raised, the theatre was...
