September 18th, 2019See it ifPinter is lapidarian in constructing dialog; precisely constructed world that is incestuous & filled w secrets & 2x dealing; expertly actedDon't see it ifgood but not Pinter's best; not dramatic, essentially displays class of arts-related people who use adultery to relieve their boredomAlsoActing Pinter requires mastery of dialogue, posture and most of all th e silences between words. This cast like no one I’ve seen displays those silences brilliantly to echo the emptiness in the lives of its characters. Innovative structure: the play by starting after an affair is over and then progressively going back in time to the 1st flirtation allows Pinter to put the affair under the microscope.

Past productions have been more satisfying for me, but this is timely.Don't see it ifYou don't appreciate the dry British approach to drama, which is brought to new heights here.AlsoSome things only work in Noel Coward plays-a passionless, flippant re sponse to infidelity on the part of one's spouse is one of them. Beautifully done set/costume/acting wise, but it made me sad to think that these people didn't care enough to get angry about the betrayals they were all part of. September 11th, 2019See it ifYou're hungry for Pinter. You've cheated in love. The mystery of relationships keeps you up at night.Don't see it ifYou don't like slow-paced, set in limbo plays about British infidelity-it's more subdued than American.AlsoI thought this production was a marvel: The empty limbo set that focus ed all our attention on what was being said.

The constant presence of the 'other' during the dialogues that was a reminder they were out of sight but not out of mind. Those Pinteresque pauses not always menacing but often thoughtful. Wonderful lighting giving us shadow plays.
