Inhalt
»Killing Time« is a wonderful surprise gift from Alan Bennett - a new story, set in a home for the elderly - a glorious, darkly comic treat.- They have a choir and on special occasions a glass of dry sherry. It's less of a home and more of a club and very much a community. Hill Topp House is a superior council home for the elderly. Among the unforgettable residents are Mr Cresswell the ex-cruise ship hairdresser, Mr Peckover the deluded archaeologist, and the enterprising Mrs Foss. Mrs McBryde is head of staff. And the housekeeper is taking care of the bodies of female and male inhabitants alike. But as Covid becomes the cause of fatalities and as staff begin to be hospitalised a darkly comic confusion starts, protocol breaks down and the surviving residents seize their moment, to scamper freely, arthritis allowing, in the warmth of the summer sun. »Violet? She'll be having a little lie-down,« said Mrs McBryde. »She likes to give her pacemaker a rest.«
