Austin Shakespeare will seat the audience in the round for Harold Pinter’s Old Times. This sensual, poetic and deeply unnerving drama is the 33-year-old company’s first Pinter production.
Old Times takes place in the rural home of filmmaker Deeley and his wife of 20 years, Kate, who are visited by Anna, a mysterious friend of Kate’s younger days. What begins as a trip down memory lane quickly transforms into a seductive battle for power, as the memories become more than just stories. As Anna says,"There are some things one remembers even though they may never have happened. There are things I remember which may never have happened but as I recall them so they take place."
