- Studio Portraits of Alan Bennett pictured at the LRB Bookshop. Bloomsbury, London Wc1. Alan was talking about his new play just opened at The National Theartre 'The Habit of Art' directed by Nicholas Hytner. Alan Bennetts new play is as much about the theatre as it is about poetry or music. It looks at the unsettling desires of two difficult men, WH Auden and Benjamin Britten and at the ethics of biography. It reflects on growing old, on creativity and inspiration, and on persisting when all passions spent: ultimately, on the habit of art.
