A Drama by Alan Bennett
Directed by Tony Cain

“Everything is subject to the values of the market”
– MICHAEL BILLINGTON, THE GUARDIAN

What happens when an aging dowager can no longer manage her aging manor house? Dorothy considers selling off her belongings or turning her lovely manor into a museum for the National Trust, but “people spoil things… and the last thing one wants is them traipsing through one’s house.” So when an offer comes to shoot a film on site, she jumps at the chance to make a little money. Unknowingly, it’s a porn flick and Bennett, in great comic style, underscores the reality that everything has a price.
