The brutality of family life and the subjectivity of memory are explored in the emotionally raw and richly funny Moonlight, directed by Olivier Award winner Lyndsey Turner, in which the past haunts the dark, lonely recesses of a dying father’s bedroom.
An East End criminal returns home from prison to find his room has been occupied by a mysterious woman with a secret. Set in the sweaty nightclubs and claustrophobic boarding houses of 1960s London, this is a rare opportunity to see the brilliantly witty and vivid Night School, directed by the inventive young director, Ed Stambollouian.
Casting includes: Jessica Barden, Brid Brennan, Janie Dee, Abbie Finn, Robert Glenister, Isis Hainsworth, Peter Polycarpou, Dwane Walcott, and Al Weaver.

Going to see a Pinter play is, of course, rather different from a night out at a showy West End Musical. One can expect thought-provoking theatre, exceptionally witty language and puzzling plots that never quite become totally clear in the end. Yet that is not to say that Moonlight and Night School did not enrapture the average theatre-goer simply seeking light(ish) entertainment. Indeed, the productions directed by Lindsey Turner (Moonlight) and Ed Stambollouian (Night School) as part of the Pinter at the Pinter series were accessible, pacey, and engaging – a great introduction for those new to Pinter’s work, yet still capturing the essence of a comedy of menace in a naturalistic and classic fashion.
