Sarah and Richard lead a perfectly balanced married life in the suburbs. Richard leaves for work every day as a respectable businessman. He agrees not to return before six so that Sarah can enjoy her lover after lunch. He visits a prostitute in this time. But there is a flaw. When Richard suggests the four of them meet, the role playing games get out of hand and lead to unexpected conflict. The lover tires of his mistress and their worlds collide.

Audience Responses

I enjoyed the play. I thought the rapport between the two characters and the storytelling was good. He was less 'natural' at times than she was - she was VERY good. An enjoyable experience.

Very Pinter, very funny, very disturbing, excellent acting! I hope you will put it on again as this was such a short run. My husband was away so I'd go again with him.

very impressive acting

Great play, very entertaining. Actors repertoire of emotions is huge.

Bravo! Smartly directed by Melodie Abad with superb, nuanced performances by Sjaka S Septembir and Caroline Midgley. Pinter's acerbic wit and grittiness shines. MapMyWay says "must see"!

Very enjoyable. Would be better with American accents.

excellent! lots of laugh!

We had a very good time! Congratulations to the talented actors and director!

Loved it!! Congrats to Melodie & cast. Some marvellously cheeky moments there by the stunning actress, Caroline Xx
