Our Annie's Funeral

David Bret is one of Britain's leading celebrity biographers. He has also published novels, stage plays, and two factual volumes on 15th century history. Additionally he has appeared in around thirty films and television documentaries, and made over 700 radio broadcasts. In this monologue he recalls his grandmother's funeral in February 1972, as seen through the eyes of his much-loved Aunty Kate, who had a peculiar way of looking at the world. It was one of the saddest days of Bret's life, yet upon reflection and when recounted by Kate, it becomes so unintentionally hilarious.
