TALENT

The first and last thing to be said about Talent is that it is very funny at times, too near the knicker-wetting degree in its short and pithy span it incorporates a wealth of human disillusion and more comic one-liners than is altogether fair

Guardian

Its talent night at Bunters niteclub, and contestant Julie and her fat friend Maureen are waiting backstage. As they are plunged into a world of ukulele wielding pensioners, crotch grabbing comperes and some long buried personal history, Julie and Maureen have to decide how lucky they really want to be.

Talent is a comedy with original songs written by Victoria Wood. It was first performed in 1978 at the Crucible Theatre Sheffield, winning Wood the Evening Standard award for Most Promising Playwright. Adapted for TV the following year, it won her another Most Promising Writer Award and a BAFTA nomination.
