"Talking Heads" - Reviews:

[ NYP ]  HEADED THE RIGHT WAY by DONALD LYONS
PERHAPS best known for his royal forays "The Madness of King George" and "A Question of Attribution," Alan Bennett has evolved into a touching and very funny playwright.

[ NYT ]  THEATER REVIEW | 'TALKING HEADS'
Life a Bit of a Mess? Just Carry on, Dear by BEN BRANTLEY
Lynn Redgrave's performance of beatific obtuseness aside, Alan Bennett's characters seem impersonated, not incarnated, in this adaptation.

[ YN ]  Bennett Finds Humor in British Life by MICHAEL KUCHWARA, AP Drama Critic
Everyone has a story, but some tell their tales better than others.
It helps, though, when you have an author as accomplished as Alan Bennett to provide the words.

[ ND ]  In 'Heads' You Win, Tales You Muse by Linda Winer
All the lonely people, where do they all come from? Wherever the specific points of origin, six of the most English of them have nestled as cozily as their tidy, devastatingly human selves will allow at the Minetta Lane Theatre in two separate programs of monologues from the collection Alan Bennett calls "Talking Heads."

[ DN ]  Touching snapshots of lonely lives by Howard Kissel
While the works of some British playwrights are imported here as if it were some type of cultural duty (Harold Pinter's bilge comes to mind), those of Alan Bennett have been sadly neglected.

[ B ]  Talking Heads Review by Adam Feldman

[ TM ]  Talking Heads Reviewed By: David Finkle

Other Reviews:

[ NJ ]  Excess baggage BY PETER FILICHIA
'Camelot' director brings too much to the table

[ NJ ]  Morality after an atrocity BY MICHAEL SOMMERS
A somber and poetical work, "The Women of Lockerbie" is a fictional treatment of a real-life tragedy.

[ LAT ]  Sprightly but short on sparks by Don Shirley
'Mr. Shaw Goes to Hollywood,' at Laguna Playhouse, has spirit but lacks the bite of its namesake's politically charged works.

[ NYP ]  STILL AN 'OUT' & AWAY HIT by CLIVE BARNES
NOT everyone would have guessed that Twyla Tharp and Billy Joel's "Movin' Out," which has moved into the Richard Rodgers Theatre for what looks like a long, long time, would have been a major hit and the Tony Award front-runner.

[ ND ]  Memories in the Music by Blake Green
Tommy Tune, the director and choreographer of the original "Nine," has remained discreetly mum on the subject of the creation of the 1982 Tony-winning show. But Karen Akers, who played Luisa, Guido Contini's long-suffering wife (now portrayed by Mary Stuart Masterson), has jumped at the chance to reminisce.
