The Habit of Art

6 Nov '10: We went to the Theatre Royal for a performance of 'The Habit of Art' by Alan Bennett.
As a Play within a Play it was amusing and thought provoking, and I am glad I was able to google (at half time) some info on Auden and Brittain.
Here's the National Theatre page about it.

I remember Malcolm Sinclair (right) taking the lead part in Peer Gynt in the heat wave of 1976, at the Nottingham Playhouse. Actually, his acting is so good, you forget he is acting, he just seems to be the character. Desmond Borritt was playing the part of a sort of 'Ralph Richardson' character who is rather weary of it all, and declaims to the auditorium.
