Mobile phones, rowdy schoolchildren, flash photography – no wonder actors fly into rages on stage. But is a bit of chit-chat in the stalls really worth the drama? When actors attack – it doesn't sound like the most terrifying prospect. Somewhere rather low on Channel 5's scheduling list, I should imagine, just above When Florists Wince or When Poets Formally Complain. And yet t here are...

Alan Bennett's wit and feel for the nuances of class have endeared him to millions. But is he a true artist or merely a gifted entertainer?

Lyttelton, London WH Auden, the Oxford oracle, is peeing into his washbasin. He's waiting for a rent boy to arrive in his college rooms; he's stuck over his stanzas; he looks not so much like a bag person as a crumpled plastic bag. A floor above him, Benjamin Britten, sleek as a whippet, is at the piano, with poker back and pumping arms, cajoling a young treble into song: "Oh lift your little...

The closer you steer to yourself, in your writing, the better you will be. So says W H Auden. No, let’s be accurate. So says the (real-life) actor Richard Griffiths portraying a rumpled (fictional) thespian named Fitz, who has been cast as the great poet in Caliban’s Day – the biodrama being rehearsed in Alan Bennett’s new play, The Habit of Art.

IN A YEAR that has seen the premieres of such bold, bracing plays as Enron and Jerusalem (both re-opening in the west end in January), which respectively take the pulse of the global economy and an anarchic corner of British life, Alan Bennett has trumped them with The Habit of Art.

On Monday we went to the National Theatre to see Alan Bennett's new play, The Habit of Art, about a fictional meeting between WH Auden and Benjamin Britten. It was the performance before press night, so there had been no notices in the papers, although the word of mouth was not particularly good and the amateurs on the internet had given it a panning. "Self-indulgent", "rambling",...

National's Lyttleton, London: Yes, Alan Bennett's eagerly awaited new play is brilliant in that it glitters with sophisticated bravura and, as always, there is some enjoyable situation comedy and hilarious one-liners - such as Adrian Scarborough as a bemused Humphrey Carpenter, telling the dissolute WH Auden, played by the (literally) larger than life, utterly splendid Richard Griffiths, that he can't...

Went to the press night of Alan Bennett's new play, The Habit of Art , tonight. I always forget that under that cosy exterior, the man has a mind for theatre like a steel trap, designed on post-modern lines. The "main action" - between Auden and Britten, two men whose work I admire without really understanding anything about their lives - is a play within a play; and people are constantly...

I realise that I am horribly cynical but I got the impression Alan Bennett had really wanted to give us the play within this play. The idea is that we are watching a fairly advanced rehearsal of a play which is by turns brilliant and and comically terrible (talking furniture, talking wrinkles etc.). We get pretty much all the rehearsed play but the players are allowed to comment of on the plot and...
