The Lady in the Van
Director: Nicholas Hytner
Starring: Maggie Smith, Alex Jennings, Jim Broadbent
Miss Shepherd, played by Maggie Smith (pictured), is an elderly eccentric, who, after falling on hard times, decides to temporarily live in her old van on a playwright’s driveway – and stays there for 15 years. The unique and witty story gives audiences an insight into a very odd long-term real-life friendship. Adapted by writer Alan Bennett from his autobiographical play of the same name.
