Das Alter hat einige Tücken. Aber mit etwas Humor gibt es mehr zu lachen denn je. Mit stolzen 90 Jahren hat Alan Bennett eine quietschvergnügte Komödie über Anarchie im Altersheim geschrieben: Die Seniorenresidenz Hill Topp hat wahnsinnig viel zu bieten - einmal die Woche trockenen Sherry, Ausflüge zum Flamingo auf dem lokalen Bauernhof und einen Hausmeister, der nicht nur Fenster putzt, sondern auch sexuelle Dienste für alle Geschlechter anbietet. Zähne, Perücken und Gesprächsfäden gehen regelmäßig verloren oder werden in wilde Tauschgeschäfte verwickelt. Dann greift plötzlich das Coronavirus um sich und befördert als Erstes das Personal ins Krankenhaus. Im unbeaufsichtigten Domizil bricht die Anarchie aus – und wenn es die Arthritis zulässt, wird heftig gehüpft und so manches Freudenfeuer entzündet …

Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name.

Alan Bennett is an English author and Tony Award-winning playwright. Bennett's first stage play, Forty Years On, was produced in 1968. Many television, stage and radio plays followed, along with screenplays, short stories, novellas, a large body of non-fictional prose and broadcasting, and many appearances as an actor. Bennett's lugubrious yet expressive voice (which still bears a slight Leeds accent) and the sharp humour and evident humanity of his writing have made his readings of his own work (especially his autobiographical writing) very popular. His readings of the Winnie the Pooh stories are also widely enjoyed.

started because I liked the tone of the narrators and stopped because the last thing I want to read is a detailed story about covid, which is what the book turns into halfway through.
