Deeley and his wife Kate are visited by Anna, an old friend of Kate's, who they haven't seen in over 20 years. Anna launches into recollecting memories of concerts and other bohemian haunts the two women shared while young and living together in London. When the memories become more than just stories and prove to be a tool to vie for Kate's attention, Deeley also begins to bring up stories that are almost too clear to be true. However, it's Kate's memory that gives the play it's a shocking conclusion.

The Nobel Prize in Literature 2005 was awarded to Harold Pinter “who in his plays uncovers the precipice under everyday prattle and forces entry into oppression's closed rooms.”

“The past is what you remember, imagine you remember, convince yourself you remember, or pretend you remember.” Harold Pinter

Harold Pinter’s works have been so impactful in the 20th century that they have spawned their own words used to describe certain hallmarks of his works: “Pinteresque”, “The Pinter Silence” and  “The Pinter Pause.” 

This reading by guest director and translator Paul Poon and some of Hong Kong’s leading artists bring you into a touchingly intimate relationship with the play’s unfolding events.
