Alan Bennett and director Nicholas Hytner have reunited for another typically British tale of idiosyncrasy to warm the heart. The Lady in the Van has Maggie Smith giving a typically barnstorming performance as the titular character, and the chaos she causes around her.
Alex Jennings plays Bennett himself, as this is a story taken from the playwright’s own life, and Maggie Smith is joined by Jim Broadbent, Frances De La Tour and Roger Allam.
The film came to town this morning for the press conference and premiere, here we’ll present the full press conference video and check back later tonight for our red carpet interviews.
