Harold Pinter is one of my favorite playwrights. His plays are so amusing, bizarre, and creepy. They always leave me dazed. I love the quick interchanges of dialogue, and the absurdist uses of character.

I liked the two plays... He is very good at depicting the various psychological situations between people...

5 Stars for THE LOVER. This play gets better and better as I (and my marriages) age and evolve.
2 Stars for TEA PARTY. NOT my cup of tea.
3 Stars for THE BASEMENT. I liked it. Not sure I understood it, but there is something there, there.
