What’s on at the Pinter?
Pinter 3: Landscape/A Kind of Alaska/Monologue & other sketches
Now playing. Closes 8 December 2018.
Directed by Jamie Lloyd, this marvelous double-feature with a special monologue bonus starring Lee Evans is an absolute critical smash hit!

Pinter 4: Moonlight/Night School
Now playing. Closes 8 December 2018.
This double bill explores a family’s emotional rawness in Moonlight as they witness their father slowly withering away in a hospital bed. Night School follows an East End criminal who returns home from prison in the 60s to find that has room has been completely repurposed by strange woman.
Pinter 5: The Room/Victoria Station/Family Voices
Opens 13 December 2018 and runs until 26 January 2019.
Harold Pinter’s signature Pinter pauses and play on words are fully fledged in this triple feature directed by one of the late playwright’s closest colleagues and friends, Patrick Marber. In Victoria Station and Family Voices, isolated voices attempt to be heard, but are we really capable of being frank about our feelings?
Pinter 6: Party Time/Celebration
Opens 20 December 2018 and runs until 26 January 2019.
This double-bill is a political commentary on the upper class. In Party Time, the narcissism of the ultra-rich is explored against the backdrop of a terrifying uproar when the proletariats come to crash the party. Celebration is an unapologetic comedy on the pretentious extravagance of new money rich people, set in a swanky London restaurant.
Pinter 7: A Slight Ache/The Dumb Waiter
Opens 31 January 2019 and runs until 23 February 2019.
The seventh show of the Pinter season is comprised of two of Pinter’s greatest comedies. In A Slight Ache, a mysterious figure enters Flora and Edward’s home and they become scarred for life. In The Dumb Waiter, two hitmen named Gus and Ben await their next assignment.
Betrayal with Tom Hiddleston
Opens 5 March 2019 with a booking period until 1 June 2019.
