One of Pinter’s classics—the tale of adultery and betrayal told in retrospective from the present where Emma and Jerry meet for the first time since breaking up two years earlier and all the way back to the start of the affair 11 years earlier when Robert finds his best friend and his wife in an embrace in his own bedroom. Betrayal, friendship, honest communication, time, children, and a recurring image of Jerry throwing one of Emma’s and Robert’s children up in the air combine for an evening of discomfort and angst.
