The Lover & Landscape
Performance Dates - 11/12/08 - 13/12/08
Friction Theatre present a Pinter Double-Bill
'In Landscape , Pinter is writing, beautifully and graphically, about physical nearness and emotional separation…One of Pinter's best-written and most deeply felt plays.'
The Life and Work of Harold Pinter, Michael Billington
So sweetly the sand over me
Tiny the sand on my skin. (Pause)
So silent the sky in my eyes.
Gently the sound of the tide (Pause)
Oh my true love I said.
A middle-aged couple describe the vital scenery of their lives in a series of monologues.
Sarah and Richard, the couple in The Lover, have reached a strange point in their relationship at the beginning of the play. Sarah has become accustomed to talking about her lover - who visits her in the afternoon - to Richard, who does not object to this arrangement. The Lover revolves around three characters: the husband, the wife and the lover. However, there is much more to this play than meets the eye. The Lover explores the repercussions when dull domesticity and sexual fantasy collide.
