My Chat with Harold Pinter

This play is a gem. A deliciously chewy wordy musically poetically human theatre night. A joy. I greatly enjoyed it: a very clever concept brilliantly executed and splendidly directed. |
I loved the play and how it brought us into Jen's inner world in what felt like a safe and homour-filled way. It feels particularly important given the lack of understanding of neurodivergent and stigma Powerful and beautiful in equal measure. |
So important to see neurodivergent lives and experiences on stage especially in a more positive and humorous way without making fun of the experience. This was amazing! Amazing performances they kept us absolutely captivated. |
So very very good! I really enjoyed the play which was fun, witty, stimulating, somewhat random and thoroughly enjoyable. Also, really amazing acting - honestly. Brilliant - thank you!!! |
The best lesson in Pinter, cricket and the fact that a lot of us have a lot going on in our heads. A joyous piece, so well performed. Should be seen by many. Thank you! |
I loved it. Very relatable. Shows the beautiful complexity of a neurodivergent experience. Lovely show some beautiful gentle moments. Great performances. |
