Harold Pinter Can Be Fun(ny): The Lover/The Collection @ Theatre Royal Bath
susanbystryenglish.substack.com
Terrrific pairing of Harold Pinter plays with an equally terrific cast — David Morrissey, Matthew Horne, Claudie Blakley and Elliot Barnes-Worrell. And it was funny! In a box-like mirrored set, we encounter Claudie Blakley and David Morrissey as a couple playing at being other people and giving a whole new meaning to tea-time. It felt like a Noel Coward comedy of manners gone completely left-field. Pinter’s gift is for ordinary polite mundane conversations and introducing sexual attraction and jealousy, seething tension and things going wrong. His strong enduring women are also the stars.
