If God gave me the chance to see evil, then I would look at it. And that is a terrible thing to know about oneself.
Unspeakable secrets are exposed in a house with a notorious and terrifying past.
What people said about Wildwood Park
A chilling and eerie performance. Left theatre feeling really quite disturbed... Would thoroughly recommend.
It was unusual and kept you guessing to the end with lots of twists and turns. The actors were excellent and really made you feel as if you were there viewing the house too.
It was really great play, I really enjoyed Wildwood Park.
It's such a pleasure to take a theatre break - a captivating 45 minutes I'll add. Good choice of play, splendid acting - I felt I was really in that house!
The Lover by Harold Pinter
In Celebration of Harold Pinter's 75th Birthday
In October 2005 No Agenda Theatre Company successfully launched The Bridewell Theatres Lunchbox series with a classic production of Harold Pinter's The Lover in celebration of Harold Pinter's 75th birthday, the only production of Pinters work to be taking place in England on Pinter's birthday.
Does it ever occur to you that while you're spending the afternoon being unfaithful to me I'm sitting at my desk going through balance sheets and graphs?
Well of course it occurs to me ... it makes it all the more piquant
The Lover is a provocative and powerful exploration of relationships, revealing much more than is at first apparent. This is a memorable production of Pinter's sharp and insightful play.
Well received by lunchtime audiences
Customers who came to see The Lover had this to say about it:
I thought it was a wonderful performance all round.
A good way to spend your lunch hour. Really nice to do something different.
Fantastic lunch-time entertainment.
I thought the choice of play and the acting was excellent - I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Many thanks for such a lovely play. I always look forward to your little lunchbox plays, and will certainly recommend you to others.
I didn't know the play at all, and thought it was terrific. The venue is also very good, and for a fiver and 50p for a programme bloody good value.
Thank you. Great play and well acted!! Best lunch break I've had for ages.
