    Uniform Title: Lady im Lieferwagen
    Content: Eines Tages taucht Miss Shepherd mit ihrem Lieferwagen auf. Zunächst ist es eine ̄kleineØ Anschubhilfe, die sie erbittet, aber es dauert nicht lange, und sie erobert mit ihrem maroden rollenden Zuhause einen festen Platz im Vorgarten für die nächsten zwanzig Jahre. Überzeugt, dass sie die eigentliche ̄eiserne LadyØ ist, erteilt sie der viel zu weichen Margaret Thatcher gute Ratschläge. Ihr Rezept zur Rettung Englands ist verblüffend einfach: Gerechtigkeit. Sie gründet die Fidelis-Partei und kandidiert für das Parlament. Statt Wahlbroschüren zu verschicken, schreibt sie ihre programmatischen Ansichten auf den Gehsteigen von Camden Town nieder. An eccentric old lady moves into a quiet street in Camden Town. There she remains, installed in her van in glorious self-sufficiency, until the council instructs her to move on. Then a kind homeowner invites her to move her van into his garden where she stays for the next fifteen years. This is the fascinating story of the genteel vagrant who found a unique place in Alan Bennett's life and writing. But the drama is as much about the author himself as Miss Shepherd. Why did Alan Bennett let her commandeer his driveway? Was he acting out of kindness, weakness, or hidden guilt over not spending enough time with his own mother? Did he always subconsciously plan to exploit Miss Shepherd for literary profit? Thought-provoking and moving, The Lady in the Van tackles profound questions about social responsibility, homelessness and mental illness with a lightness of touch characteristic of Bennett the master storyteller.
