is the second in a series of dramatic monologues by British humorist, Alan
Bennett. Originally written for BBC television, <i>Talking Heads 2</i>
has since been performed in live theater and televised on PBS’
Masterpiece Theater. Bennett’s “talking heads” are
anything but boring or monotonous. The characters he portrays in this
series of thought- provoking monologues represent a menagerie of repressed
souls. Although the subjects of these monologues are very different, the
underlying feelings of loneliness, sadness and regret are very much the same
for the characters that Bennett portrays so candidly, yet humorously. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
