Landscape / A Kind of Alaska / Monologue
Landscape and
A Kind of Alaska, directed by
Jamie Lloyd, are spellbinding evocations of loneliness, isolation and the strange mists of time.
Landscape is a minimalist marvel: a woman is locked in a beautiful memory and her husband demands to be heard. In
A Kind of Alaska, Deborah awakes from a twenty-nine-year sleep and is suspended between the conscious and unconscious worlds.
Lee Evans will perform the poignant
Monologue and a selection of Pinter’s most hilarious comedy sketches, including the sketch Apart From That, with
Meera Syal.
In addition, long-term Pinter collaborator
Penelope Wilton (
Downton Abbey) will make 12 special guest appearances to perform the witty monologue
Tess - written specifically for her by Pinter - from the 19th November.
Cast includes
Keith Allen,
Lee Evans,
Tamsin Greig,
Meera Syal, Tom Edden and – at select performances –
Penelope Wilton.
