Cocktail Sticks is an autobiographical play by the English playwright Alan Bennett. It premièred in the National Theatre in 2012 as part of a double bill (with the monologue Hymn). The production was directed by long-term Bennett collaborator Nicholas Hytner. It received great acclaim, and transferred to the Duchess Theatre in the West End of London.[1][2][3] The role of Bennett was played by Alex Jennings.
An adaptation for radio was first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on 3 January 2015, with Alex Jennings (and Alan Bennett himself) as Bennett, Jeff Rawle as Dad and Gabrielle Lloyd as Mam.[4][5]
