Pinter Three: Directed by
Jamie Lloyd
Landscape and
A Kind of Alaska, directed by
Jamie Lloyd, are spellbinding evocations of loneliness, isolation and the strange mists of time.
Landscape is a minimalist marvel: a woman is locked in a beautiful memory and her husband demands to be heard. In
A Kind of Alaska, Deborah awakes from a twenty-nine-year sleep and is suspended between the conscious and unconscious worlds. In
Monologue, a loner addresses an absent friend who disappeared many years ago.
Lee Evans will appear in an eclectic mixed bill alongside stage and screen favourite
Meera Syal. They join the previously announced
Keith Allen and
Tamsin Greig from 25th October to 8th December, for 23 performances only. Evans will perform the poignantly witty
Monologue and a selection of Pinter's most hilarious comedy sketches. Evans and Syal will perform, amongst other pieces, the sketch
Apart From That, whilst Syal also joins Allen and Greig in
A Kind of Alaska. The play, performed alongside
Landscape, movingly captures the oneiric nature of memory.
In addition, long-term Pinter collaborator
Penelope Wilton (
Downton Abbey, Harriet Jones in
Doctor Who) will make 12 special guest appearances to perform the witty monologue
Tess - written specifically for her by Pinter - from the 19th November.
Cast includes
Lee Evans,
Tamsin Greig,
Meera Syal,
Tom Edden and
Keith Allen and at select performances
Penelope Wilton
