Pinter: In other Rooms at Teloglion

The British Council in Athens, in collaboration with the School of English Language and Literature and the School of Drama at the Aristotle University of Athens are organizing a homage to celebrated British playwright Harold Pinter via a unique performance at the Teloglion Foundation of Art called Pinter: In other Rooms.

The performance will be staged for three days only, beginning on November 26 and will also include a round-table discussion on Pinter’s playwriting.

A project funded by the Goldsmith University Pinter Centre for Performance and Creative Writing, it consists of seven short plays (Party Time, The Examination, Press Conference, Mountain Language, Night, Victoria Station and A New World Order) and is performed as an integrated evening, rather than as a revue of plays, orchestrated by director, playwright and critic Robert Gordon.

Τhe performance places the audience in the world of plays, transforming party venues into secret places of interrogation and torture or intimate spaces that divulge Janus-faced conversations: funny, sinister, absurd and shocking.
