Harold Pinter: Revue sketches (In English)

 

Harold Pinter is one of Britain's greatest playwrights, and we want to show you some of his black humour.

 

Is it possible to communicate, and if so, do we mean the same thing by words or are we moving in separate universes? Is communication impossible?

Does each character have an identity and, if so, with whom and what do they identify?

In most scenes we see stories of strong women and unfortunate men.

Hidden in every scene are questions of power.

Fear distorts the human soul, power distorts character, and it is often difficult to see through the lies of communication. It is easy to judge just because someone is different. In Pinter's scenes we manage to laugh at ourselves.

 

Slight ache - Garden, flowers, idyll and a couple who understand each other. Or do they? What is that strange man doing at the garden gate?

A night out - Mum and her "tiny" son. A grown-up boy who wants to be a man, but the mother won't let him. What happens when this boy gets out of such an environment and tries to meet a girl?

In Trouble in the works, the conversation between a clueless boss and a burnt-out, overworked worker makes us chuckle bitterly.

Black and White is a dialogue between two homeless women about the impossibility of connection.

Request Stop is the slanderous communication of a neurotic, prejudiced lady at a bus stop.

Last to go is a postmodern conversation that makes it clear that we have nothing to say to the other person, we don't listen to each other, we emphatically don't care about the other person's fate.

Our offer


A century ago, the world first encountered this remarkable opus, a work that soon became one of the cornerstones of twentieth-century musical innovation. Premiered in 1926, the singspiel is a milestone in Hungarian music history: its composer, Zoltán Kodály, fulfilled his aspiration to elevate Hungarian folk song of ancient origin to the same status as classical music, by virtue of its equivalent values, placing it on the stage of the nation’s Opera House.

János Hunyadi is responsible for the tolling of bells around the world; Mátyás Hunyadi is the hero of a string of folk tales; László Hunyadi inspired “only” an opera.

A Streetcar Named Desire is Marianna Venekei's first full-length choreography. The project, lovingly nurtured for many years, is a collaboration between her and composer-saxophonist László Dés.
