Miss Fozzard Finds Her Feet
“Do you know why I chose the profession of chiropody?”
“It’s so I could kneel at the feet of thousands of women
and my wife would never turn a hair.”
June 6 – June 29, 2008
Alan Bennett’s gently humorous story about a spinster, her ailing brother, and her off-beat relationship with her chiropodist (foot doctor), paints a bittersweet portrait of English family life. In relating the everyday activities of provincial life, Bennett’s sensitive storytelling draws us into the familiar and recognizable, only to be surprised by the innate quirkiness of his characters. |  |
Nights in the Gardens of Spain “It was nice, it was so civilized, had I seen a naked corpse before?”
June 6 – June 29, 2008
Wickedly funny and yet decidedly macabre, Bennett’s incisive and disturbing story of two English suburban women, who trapped by their conditions, find beauty and friendship in their mutual interest in gardening. Rosemary and Fran’s journey reveals Bennett’s remarkable empathy and poignant humanity. Artist in Residence Josephine Hogan stars in both plays. | |
