The Lover and The Collection, Ten Bucks Theatre Revives Late Playwright Harold Pinter
Friday, November 20 at Fridays and Saurdays @ 7pm & Sundays @ 2pm
Harold Pinter's plays are famous for their pauses, but in between his dialogue is sharp, smart, and witty. It crackles with energy in the two plays, The Lover and The Collection. The “Pinter pause” is famous because it allows space to reveal the characters' internal psychological struggles. The characters in these plays are brittle yet vulnerable, loosely drawn yet complex. Their veneer of sophistication masks the raw emotions and desperation underneath. As they work their way through a maze of sexual power politics, the audience is taken on a journey into the dark side of modern marriage.
