The Pinter at The Pinter season culminates with two unmissable comedies that explore the political machinations of the powerful and the powerless.

When a mysterious figure enters their elegant country home, the lives of Flora and Edward are changed forever.

Gus and Ben, two hit-men, await their next job in a derelict building - but what is the cost of their quest for meaning?

A Slight Ache and The Dumb Waiter, both written in the late 1950s, are directed by Jamie Lloyd.

Cast includes Danny Dyer, Martin Freeman

Both plays left us short of an actual development. It is the best play we have seen this year but is still not making it to our top 10. Great acting, slightly superficial plot lines that could have been deeper.

Nick Archer

Two great plays - very entertaining evening.

Steve Edney

A really enjoyable experience. Wish I had done it sooner.

Robert Crockford

A thoroughly enjoyable time.

Tabitha Potts

Great show. Took my son who is 14, he loved both plays. Great performances.

Sara Kane

Just loved these productions "my kind" of Pinter plays.

Kate

I love the Pinter theatre it’s so small and intimate. I am a not massively familiar with his work and did not know these two pieces adding to the pinteresque suspense. The cast acquired themselves well. My only criticism is for the theatre management who ran out of the books in the foyer containing these two pieces a massive (and likely costly) error.

Annie Siraut

Great evening - A slight Ache beautifully set stunningly annunciated. The Dumb Waiter - Sublime - quite a "short" evening though

Cathy

Excellent production. Seats were not comfortable and view of stage not brilliant.Two glasses of wine,one lemonade and twp programmes were £32.These prices do not make Pinter very accessible for a lot of people.

Graham Mclean

An excellent cast - for both plays, impressed with Danny Dyer's acting and his capacity for the "comedy" of Pinter. Not to take anything away from Martin Freeman, he was very good too.
