Beautifully acted, Masterful, Thought-provoking, Great writing, Absorbing

See it if you like Pinter; want to see a well acted & produced story of betrayal laid bare in a naked, well-lit room with no place to hide; intense.

Don't see it if you're not a fan of Pinter, sparse staging, one on one conversation; don't like a backward kind of linear storytelling; you prefer action. Read more

Relevant, Thought-provoking, Intelligent, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if You enjoy Pinter plays, great acting, minimal but very effective staging and seeing the insidious nature of extramarital affairs.

Don't see it if You don’t like Pinter, feel uncomfortable about extramarital affairs, like more staging or prefer light hearted dramas or musicals.

Engaging, Thought-provoking, Indulgent, Interesting acting choices, Unique staging

See it if you like deliberateness in staging and acting choices being a part of what is supposed to draw you in, Charlie Cox - he was incredible

Don't see it if quiet, slow-moving storytelling is not your thing, you're going just for Tom Hiddleston

Slow, Intense, Masterful, Great acting, Great staging

See it if See masterful actors in this Pinter Revival that is 90 minutes and not linear. it is not confusing but clear on the marriage betrayals.

Don't see it if if you are not interested in an intense play about deterioration of relationships or marriages. Infidelity is the topic. British accents

Relevant, Thought-provoking, Great writing, Great staging, Absorbing

See it if You missed the last production, and love romantic triangles and Pinter plays. I preferred the Clive Owen/Kelly Reilly version.

Don't see it if You have trouble with low voices speaking in English accents. Cannot tolerate slow moving plays or moments of thoughtful silence.
