    I'd never listened to Pinter before, lots to think about. TH-cam plays are providing me with a belated dramatic education ! Thanks for the upload.

      Pinter is fantastic. The finest craftsman of words in the English language in my humble opinion. I recommend the 1983 movie of this play this here on YT.

    The film version with Jeremy Irons, Patricia Hodges and Ben Kingsley is one of my all time favourites. Thanks for this radio version, brings back memories!

    The Jeremy Irons film is one of my very favourites but the odd thing is it doesn’t seem to be available on DVD or any streaming channels. I had an old VHS but who has a player for those now? I found someone had posted the entire film on TH-cam and watched it recently. What a treat!

    Amazing play.
    So many layers of betrayal! Jerry to Richard, Jerry to Judith, Judith to Jerry (we assume), Emma to Richard, Emma to Jerry (she's the biggest betrayer, surely?), Richard to Jerry, Emma to Judith. The punch at the beginning was hard-hitting: Emma will leave Richard but not for Jerry, perhaps for Casey.

      The wonderful Andrew Scott is a much-lauded 40something Irish actor. For Brit-loving Yanks, he’s been the super baddie in Cumberbatch’s Sherlock and TV’s Black Mirror & Fleabag. England turns out these talented artists by the bunch, much to American audiences’ delight…& yes, he IS sexy!

      Listening it for the first time, it’s brilliant! I always loved radio drama, and I wonder if this audio was aired exactly how we listen here. There are big pauses between scenes and rough cuts at the end and the beginning of each one… I find it a peculiar election for the sound design, being the rest soooo well recorded, that you can perfectly hear when the actors turn their head or touch one another. Anyway. Do you know if this was originally recorded as a radio drama or maybe its the audio of a tv show? Tails of music are audible and I miss the year being announced before every scene. Thanks for sharing. It’s been a grat pleasure hearing it!!! 🤩🤩🤩

    One of my very favorite plays.
    But I have not seen it on the stage.
    I have only seen the Ben Kingsley Patricia Hodge Jeremy Irons film of it, many years ago, saw it twice I think.
    I was shocked and moved by it.

    On the other hand you have to admire Pinter for managing to pass off this sort of drivel as " Drama " for so many years.

      Sorry to disagree. I feel that way about modern art but this drama is engrossing. Watched the film over and over. Dialogue deceptively simple but somehow always makes me laugh. Structure so clever, with one betrayal after another being uncovered. Perfect ending. Give the film a try!

      You wrote the same sort of comment on No Mans Land here on YT didn't you. About Emperors New Clothes? No, Im sorry but Pinter was definitely not a charlatan. Can you really not see the dialogue in this play is some of the finest drama in the English language? I admit No Man's Land also confuses me somewhat, but how you can not see the uniqueness and beauty of this writing and his totally original style and the craftmanship of words saddens me. It's your loss my friend I assure you. Also why seek out Pinter plays and watch them and then comment that they are shit?
