Synopsis
Yorkshire-born playwright and screenwriter Alan Bennett (The History Boys) pens this poignant adaptation of his memoir about an eccentric old lady who lived in a campervan on his driveway. Dame Maggie Smith is delightfully bedraggled as the vehicle-dweller and her interactions with British actor Alex Jennings’ Bennett make for a charismatic ode to odd friendships.
