February 24-March 13, 2011 

In addition to OLD TIMES, a brilliant exploration of memory and marriage, we are presenting a curtain-raiser: NIGHT by Harold Pinter.  In this amusing and all-too-human short sketch, a married couple tries to remember the details about how they met and figure out whose version is correct.

NIGHT features Joseph McGrath and Cynthia Meier.

"One thing plays had in common: you were supposed to believe what people said up there. If somebody comes in and says, 'Tea or coffee?' and the answer is 'Tea,' you are entitled to assume that somebody is offered a choice of two drinks, and the second person has stated a preference. With Mr. Pinter there are alternatives, such as the man preferred coffee but the other person wished him to have tea, or that he preferred the stuff you make from coffee beans under the impression that it was called tea."
-Tom Stoppard
