This second volume of plays by Alan Bennett includes his two Kafka plays; one an hilarious comedy; the other a profound and searching drama. Also included is An Englishman Abroad and A Question of Attribution. The fascination of these two plays lies in the way they question our accepted notions of treachery and; in different ways; make a sympathetic case for Guy Burgess and Anthony Blunt.

Those were as Dressed alluded to.racially charged times. Tim and Tom came to TTHS and did a show for the entire student body. Their messages were well receivedI went to high school in Harvey from 1968-1972 and Tom Dreesens description of the times was spot on.as was his description of the city and the characters found there. It was a pleasure to finally read his story and success. I only saw him and Tim in person once. and that was at our alma mater. Thornton Township High School. when they did their act for the student body. The book was a real pleasure to read. Factual. funny and entertaining from cover to cover.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy CustomerGREAT0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
