Summer Vacation
Anna has come to visit her old flatmate Kate and relive their carefree youth of twenty years before. But nostalgia turns to conflict and she is soon at war with Kate's filmmaker husband Deeley over his wife's affections. As Anna and Deeley battle using vintage songs and films as ammunition it becomes clear that no amount of duelling will win Kate over - it only serves to demonstrate the fragility of their happy memories and expose the rottenness of their present lives.
Nobel prizewinner Harold Pinter is at the height of his powers here. By turns lyrical and menacing, this play explores both the light and the dark side of looking back to Old Times.
