On Monday night Whatsonstage took 175 Theatregoers to the Comedy Theatre for the sell out Outing to The Lover/The Collection. The West End double bill features two dark and funny plays from Nobel Prize winner Harold Pinter. Both plays sizzled with sexual tension as they twisted and turned through the dark and often bleak world that Pinter creates.

All of our Theatregoers were treated to a free programme and interval drink as they watched the show from their top price seats. After the show everyone was invited to a post show Q&A which was well attended by all. We were thrilled to welcome all four cast members, Gina McKee, Timothy West, Richard Coyle and Charlie Cox. Roger Foss led the discussion which covered a variety of topics, including how to tackle Pinter, how to handle the infamous Pinter pauses, and how to work together as a cast. Gina McKee discussed her role as the only female in the production and addressed the problems arising from performing plays written in a different era. Timothy West discussed Pinter’s popularity and appeal.

Several Theatregoers were able to pose their questions to the cast who answered them happily. Look out for edited highlights to be posted in the news section shortly. You can add your own comments about this event either here or in the main Discussion Forum.
