NUMBER 10

The author and narrator of the ever popular The Queen and I turn to Downing Street, whence the prime minister of England will travel throughout Britain in drag. He has lost touch with the people and, as an anonymous woman, he’ll research their desires and complaints and the price of a quart of milk. His adventures are described by the incomparable Barbara Rosenblat as clearly as if she were on the trip with him. She introduces each new character with such clarity that he or she immediately becomes the citizen you want to meet again. Every character is exactly on target. Between Sue Townsend’s clever, entertaining story and Barbara Rosenblat’s warm, charming performance, listeners are sure to experience a Number 10 in entertainment. J.P.
