FIRST LOOK: Sara Kestelman in The Lady In The Van at Theatre Royal Bath

We hope you enjoy Nobby Clark's great production photos from the Theatre Royal Bath's new production of Alan Bennett's The Lady In The Van directed by Jonathan Church.

In 1974, Miss Mary Shepherd, a homeless woman, temporarily moved her clapped out Bedford van into Alan Bennett’s front garden at Gloucester Crescent, Camden. She remained parked there for the next fifteen years.

Olivier Award-winner Sara Kestelman (Filthy Business, Copenhagen, Cabaret) stars as Bennett’s beloved character Miss Mary Shepherd. She is joined by Sam Alexander as Alan Bennett, William Gaunt as Underwood and James Northcote who will share the role of Alan Bennett. The full cast includes Emma Amos, Lia Burge, Paul Hickey, Gabrielle Lloyd, David Shaw Parker, Steve Simmonds and Cat Simmons.

The Lady In The Van runs until 2 September 2017
