DVD Talk review of 'Patricia Routledge in Three Portraits'
I read Bill Gibron's DVD review of Patricia Routledge in Three Portraits at http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=13174 and...
I'm delighted that AT LONG LAST these short monologues are becoming available on the DVD format, as ironically, in England, their "mother" country, these fabulous works are stil not available at all on DVD, only on VHS videotape, and without the extras supplied here!
Other readers of these comments should take note, that, in addition to the marvellous Miss Routledge, there are several other equally excellent British actors, giving their all, in a whole series of Alan Bennett Talking Heads momologues. Theere are two series of Talking Heads (each with approximately six monologues each!!) with Bennett's splendid evocation of the British class system and how people from each of the social strata give their social origins away by the way they speak!! Marvellous stuff!! I hope that you will get chance to check out both the Talking Heads series on DVD before long!!
