About book A Certain Age: Twelve Monologues From The Classic Radio Series (2007)

To my mind, the word “monologue” conjures up two possibilities. The first is a droning, nondescript, shadowed face. The other is some over-made-up and overly dramatic individual, unconcerned with masking anything, shouting – and sometimes spitting – at me. Taken from the series broadcast on Radio Four, Lynne Truss’s monologues are something entirely different. Every one is funny, affecting, as bizarre as real life and, most of all, surprising. There’s the son whose dead father tells him, via a medium, how to open the coal shed door; the wife who decides she is far happier following her husband’s apparent abduction; the neglected husband, lying in hospital determined to be content with a wife who seems to have forgotten him; and the dishevelled pedant, forced to undergo a TV makeover, who falls in love with the equally bookish production assistant.I didn’t hear the series, but I hope the actors did them justice – they are, simply, fantastic.
