Talking Heads – 2 short plays by Alan Bennett.
Performed live by John Lofthouse at Crosscrake Church on 24th September 2023 at 2pm.

Tickets are £10 and all proceeds go to church funds. Refreshments included.

A chip in the sugar tells the story of Graham – a middle-aged man who lives with his mother. Their comfortable existence is shaken to the core when Graham’s mother meets an old flame who proposes marriage.
In A bed among the lentils, we meet Susan – an alcoholic Vicar’s wife who, through escaping her insensitive husband and her debts at the local off-licence, begins an affair with an Indian grocer.

Many of you will remember Rev. Sandy Lofthouse, who frequently preached at Crosscrake when Terry moved away. Sandy’s son John was married in our church and was a well-known baritone singer in the area until he moved south. He has generously offered to bring his production of two of Alan Bennett’s ‘Talking Heads’ for our entertainment. This production has been very popular at venues in the south of England and comes highly recommended.

Please support this event in aid of church funds.
