In Hymn, a play set to live music by George Fenton, Bennett recalls the hymns and music that underscored his childhood and, with great affection, his father, a violin playing butcher.
Glimpses of his early life with Mam and Dad are shared in Cocktail Sticks. Mam seeks enlightenment from the pages of Woman’s Own, and Dad, who in an effort to earn a few extra bob, upgrades to a double bass, is thwarted when it won’t fit through the doors of the tram.
Humorous and touching, Untold Stories, the recollections of the multi-award winning playwright, was a recent hit at the National Theatre and in the West End.
