Old Times
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One of Harold Pinter's most popular plays, Old Times was first presented by the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Aldwych Theatre in London on June 1, 1971. It starred Colin Blakely, Dorothy Tutin, and Vivien Merchant, and it was directed by Peter Hall.
When Anna visits her old friend, Kate, and Kate's husband, Deeley, in the country, reminiscing about old times quickly turns into a battle between Anna and Deeley for control over Kate, who ultimately demonstrates that it is she who has the control over them both. The play demonstrates that the power to manipulate memory can be as dangerous as any weapon as characters relive and revise their own histories to cement or break the social bonds between each other.
