One For The Road/New World Order/Ashes To Ashes Tickets and Dates

Pinter One: Directed by Jamie Lloyd and Lia Williams "Just one word can take your breath like a fist to the gut." ★★★★ SUNDAY TIMES "An extraordinarily prophetic vision of the danger of ultimate power" ★★★★ GUARDIAN "One for the Road is one of the greatest plays ever written - a meticulously wrought vision of human darkness." ★★★★ TIME OUT Opening the Pinter at the Pinter season is a dynamic collection of Harold Pinter's most potent and dangerous political plays. The incendiary One for The Road is Pinter at his most terrifying. A ruthless government official interrogates a dissident and his family, but is the torturer more tortured than his victims? The The New World Order explores how the abuse of power is legitimised in the name of freedom and democracy, as two brutal interrogators prepare to inflict their terrible punishment on a blind-folded insurgent. Pinter investigates the suppression of ideas and the supposed threat of non-conformity in Mountain Language: a group of captives attempt to find a voice when their shared language is banned by the state. Michael Gambon will be joining the Pinter at the Pinter season as the voice of ?The Guard' in Mountain Language in Pinter One. Ashes to Ashes, directed by award-winning actress and long-time Pinter collaborator, Lia Williams Williams is a richly atmospheric and compelling play in which the dark nightmare of human atrocity infiltrates a couple's living room. Cast includes Paapa Essiedu, Kate O'Flynn, Antony Sher and Maggie Steed A special pre-show charity performance of Pinter's Nobel Lecture Art, Truth and Politics will be performed by Mark Rylance at 6pm Tuesday 2 October in aid of Stop the War.
