“Ordinary lives. Unspoken truths. Extraordinary monologues”.
The Guild of Players invites you to join them for an evening of Talking Heads monologues at the Theatre Royal Dumfries.
Step into a world of wit, warmth, and wonderfully human stories with Talking Heads—a series of powerful, funny, and deeply moving monologues.
Written by one of Britain’s most beloved playwrights, these unforgettable characters will speak directly to you—sharing secrets, struggles, and surprising truths from seemingly ordinary lives. But as each story unfolds, you’ll discover there’s nothing ordinary about them at all…
From laugh-out-loud observations to quietly heartbreaking revelations, Talking Heads captures the beauty and complexity of everyday life.
Talking Head 1: A Lady of Letters
Irene Ruddock dashes off letters with her trusty fountain pen, complaining about the failures of others. But when the police come by, it’s Irene who is in trouble. (Set in the 1980s).
A Lady of Letters performed by Anne Aldridge.
Talking Head 2: Bed Among the Lentils
Alan Bennett-penned monologue in which Maggie Smith plays the vicar's wife who finds a vision of God at the local off-licence.
Bed Among the Lentils performed by Rachel Reekie.
