Une farce sur le pouvoir subversif de la lecture. La reine d'Angleterre se découvre par hasard un goût pour la lecture. Rien n'arrête son appétit dévorant et elle en vient à négliger ses engagements. Du valet de chambre au prince Philip, tout Buckingham grince des dents tandis que cette passion royale bouscule le protocole.

Work Description

The Uncommon Reader is none other than HM the Queen who drifts accidentally into reading when her corgis stray into a mobile library parked at Buckingham Palace. She reads widely ( JR Ackerley, Jean Genet, Ivy Compton Burnett and the classics) and intelligently. Her reading naturally changes her world view and her relationship with people like the oleaginous prime minister and his repellent advisers. She comes to question the prescribed order of the world and loses patience with much that she has to do. In short, her reading is subversive. The consequence is, of course, surprising, mildly shocking and very funny.
