Actors reviews from Enjoying Alan Bennett, 2009

“The young actors brought Bennett’s words to life …Simon Topping’s A Chip In The Sugar extract particularly standing out… Nicola Dane also made three classic Bennett characters her own: the redoubtable Mrs Hopkins from Me, I’m Afraid Of Virginia Woolf, the unwitting foot masseur Miss Fozzard and The Lady In The Van herself, Miss Shepherd.” (The Argus)

“Other highlights: the lascivious ‘Miss Fozzard Finds Her Feet’ and ‘The Lady In The Van’ brought to life with acuity by Nicola Dane.” (Latest 7)
