“This is the first time these two plays have appeared on stage as a double bill, which feels astonishing as they’re such a good fit. Directors Kate Wasserberg and Titas Halder have done something magnificent here with cast and creative team coming together to produce a sublime hour of theatre..”
★★★★ The Stage
Play | Silence
by Samuel Beckett & Harold Pinter
The Other Room’s 2016 ‘Insomnia’ Season began with Play / Salience a double bill of short plays by two of the greatest modern playwrights, Samuel Beckett, and Harold Pinter. This was the first time that Becket and Pinter plays were ever presented as a double-bill, making it a first in theatre history.
With the former being famous for having it’s cast trapped in human sized earns (the dimension for which are specified by the Beckett estate) both plays are talk about purgatory, love, morality, and mortality.
Director: Kate Wasserberg & Titas Halder
Cast: Victoria John, Matthew Bulgo, Neil McWilliams, Peta Cornish
