The Lady in The Van

Alan Bennetts The Lady in the Van is a poignant, witty exploration of an unlikely real life relationship between a playwright and a homeless woman who lives in a van on his driveway for fifteen years.Set in Camden Town during the 1970s and 1980s, the play dramatizes the true story of Miss Mary Shepherd, a mysterious and eccentric woman who parks her dilapidated van in Alan Bennetts garden and stays there far longer than anyone anticipated.What begins as a temporary arrangement evolves into a complex, often humorous cohabitation that challenges Bennetts boundaries and assumptions.This amateur production of The Lady in the Van is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
