Perhaps the greatest and most moving of all Pinter's plays. It concerns the devious workings of the human heart, love, guilt and passion. It begins with the embers of an adulterous relationship and traces the train of events through the previous years - the betrayal between wife and husband, mistress and lover and even between the rival men. The sweaty panic of the adulterer mixes thrillingly with the barely contained emotional violence of the situation.

The play was famously based on Pinter's own affair with Joan Bakewell and has been constantly revived since its first production in 1978.
