The Diary of a Nobody
Charles Pooter lives an utterly mundane life. But that doesnt keep him from recording it for posterityin hilarious detail. In a riveting one-man performance, Hugh Bonneville (Notting Hill) perfectly captures the small mind and oversized aspirations of Pooter, one of the most indelible characters in English literature. A middle-aged, middle-class city clerk in late Victorian England, he chronicles his daily frustrations, tiffs with his wife, and visits from friends. I fail to seebecause I do not happen to be a Somebodywhy my diary should not be interesting, Pooter protests. No blogger ever said it better.
