Recipient of the 2005 Nobel Prize,
Harold Pinter masterfully explores and challenges reality through
art. These early one-acts question the distinction between
appearance and reality, illusion and truth. Finally, he persuades us
that “A thing is not necessarily either true of false; it can be
both true and false.”
Studio 115
at the University of Utah Department of Theatre presents an
evening of one-act plays by Harold Pinter: The Dumb Waiter, The
Lover, and three sketches, The Black and White, Last to Go,
and Request Stop. Performances run Thursday, October 26 through
Sunday, October 29. Show times are 7:30 pm Thursday through Saturday, 2
pm on Sunday, plus a matinee at 4:30 pm on Friday the 27th. Studio 115
is located in the Performing Arts Building on the University of Utah
campus, west of the campus bookstore.
The
recipient of numerous awards, including the 2005 Nobel Prize for
Literature, Pinter is regarded as one of the leading playwrights of the
second half of the 20th Century. His early plays, from which
these have been chosen, are often characterized as “comedy of menace,” in
which a seemingly innocent situation turns threatening as the characters’
behavior becomes increasingly mysterious or puzzling. In Pinter’s words,
"There are no hard distinctions between what is real and what is unreal,
nor between what is true and what is false. A thing is not necessarily
either true or false; it can be both true and false."
