Pinter Two consists of two, relatively early one-act comedies by the man himself and is the second in a series of seven collections of Pinter’s shorter works being produced at the Harold Pinter Theatre over the next few months. The season appears to have had theatre and TV names queuing up to participate and is curated, and mostly directed, by Jamie Lloyd, who probably deserves some sort of medal.

Review: PINTER ONE at The Harold Pinter Theatre
By Kit Benjamin Sunday, September 30 2018, 10:12
Pinter One is the first in a season of seven collections of Pinter’s shorter works, being presented in the theatre that’s named after him. It’s a madly ambitious, celeb-heavy project which, one imagines, must have been hugely challenging for director Jamie Lloyd to mount, and I confess to having felt some trepidation that I was going to see something under-rehearsed and thrown together. On the evidence of Pinter One and Pinter Two (which I saw later the same day - review to follow), it looks like it might just work.

Review: THOR AND LOKI at HighTide Theatre, Walthamstow
By Justin Murray Saturday, September 29 2018, 07:57
Harry Blake, writer-director-thunder-god of Thor and Loki, had better hope that the Asgardians aren’t looking down the Bifrost at the parodic antics of this production. Or perhaps not?

Preview Report: PINTER TWO at the Harold Pinter Theatre
By Christian Durham Wednesday, September 26 2018, 15:02
When you walk into the Pinter Theatre for Pinter Two of the Pinter at the Pinter season, you are faced with a huge, stark monolith on stage with the word Pinter hewn into it. The feeling of being present in the cathedral of this theatrical legend, verges on the mythical or saintly. Once you let go of that reverence, which Pinter himself would have probably thoroughly disapproved of, Jamie Lloyd’s idea to bring together all of his short plays into one star-studded season is a wonderful and rare opportunity to re-examine this writer and what he offers us.

Fresh Look: SCHOOL OF ROCK at the Gillian Lynne Theatre
By Isabella James Wednesday, September 26 2018, 14:53
This West End production brings to the stage all of the fun, quotable moments of the film but with an added underlying story about children under pressure from pushy parents. Andrew Lloyd-Webber has used the songs from the Jack Black movie but added a number of extra solos and anthems, including the catchy and rebellious ‘Stick it to the Man’.
