Description

Admiration. Envy. Suffocating love. The best things come in threes! Two actors. Three short plays. Summer of Harold is a trio of comedies about clinging and letting go. Janet recounts her summer of ’84 when on a gap year in London she finds herself housekeeper for the playwright Harold Pinter. Gareth is an embittered ceramicist who, tonight, takes revenge on his rival. Rae and Jonathan meet at a lookout in the Blue Mountains – for the very last time.

Beautifully written, very funny and heartfelt too. The actors are very talented, and a total delight to watch. Go and see this show, you’ll laugh and might even get a little teary too.

Although the first play is the only one to be about Harold Pinter himself, they all gave a nod to his writing style. A must see for any Harold Pinter fan.
