SUMMARY:The Lover and The Dumb Waiter
DESCRIPTION:A Celebration of (potent pause) Productions 25 years of theatre with a Double bill of Harold Pinter’s exquisite one act classics! \nThe Lover: A married couple who live a private kind of life in the middle of somewhere or other\, comfortably off financially and seemingly happy. However\, their sex life has deteriorated and they decide to uncomfortably change that. But as you’d expect from a Pinter play\, there’s rather more to it and as we get to know the couple better and their double existence\, their refined deception- both are prisoners of the repetitive mechanisms of life. A dark comedy that explores illusionary behaviour and identity\, but still preserves its timely relevance and uncontainable strength with an almost Pirandellian piquancy. \nThe Collection: On the same sort of lines of The Lover\, though the sexual element here focuses on bisexuality\, trust and jealousy. Bill is a young fashion designer who lives with his older partner Harry. One day a strange man\, Jimmy\, phones at 4 am to speak to Bill. Then he comes round to Harry’s house unannounced\, helps himself to some vodka and a grape or two\, and accuses Bill of having slept with his wife Stella\, in a hotel while on business in Leeds. Bill at first denies the accusations\, but the matter is never clarified or resolved satisfactorily in spite of Stella’s denial. The Collection was first written and presented as a TV play in 1961 and then produced on stage by the RSC in London. The Financial times chronicled the play as “an under praised little masterpiece” \n\nRunning time: 105 mins
