The Lover by Harold Pinter

Istvan Dugalin REVIEWER: 'I was amazed by the timelessness of the script given that it was written over fifty years ago. Don’t get me wrong, human themes transcend the barrier of time and all that jazz, but dialogue can sometimes sound dated. Shakespeare’s text still speaks to us, but there’s no denying that the language is not how people are talking now. Amazingly, Pinter’s dialogue doesn’t come across particularly old-timey or even that British. Justin Mader and Kerri Smith have wonderful chemistry. When the actors’ faces are only a few feet away from you (and there are only two of them), chemistry is vital.'
