Sex, Lies and Harold Pinter Reviews
Stage and Cinema- Highly Recommended
"...Sex, Lies and Harold Pinter, a visiting production at the Odyssey Theatre, offers two one-acts that are sure to provide audiences with ample fodder for conversation at any nearby café."
LA Theatrix- Highly Recommended
"..."But first, "Party Time" - with its haunting echoes of both George Orwell's novel "1984" and Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" serving as a potent reminder of how easily we can slip into dystopia, even if all seems "normal" on the surface."
Hollywood Progressive- Highly Recommended
"...Should incisive writing, protest politics, skewering the bourgeoisie, subtle, supple acting and kinky role playing be your thing, make an odyssey to see this oddity at the Odyssey, sprint to view these Pinter plays."
Stage Raw- Highly Recommended
"...Sex, Lies and Harold Pinter, a visiting production at the Odyssey Theatre, makes a compelling case for the enduring bite of Harold Pinter at his most elusive. In director Jack Heller’s sharply acted production, menace simmers beneath civility, and polite conversation becomes a weapon."
Larchmont Buzz- Recommended
"...By putting these two works in conversation with one another, Sex, Lies and Harold Pinter succeeds in scratching at the sheen of comfortability to expose a society that remains turbulent."
Mostly Shakespeare- Highly Recommended
"...Sex, Lies And Harold Pinter is a visiting production now up at The Odyssey Theatre, and is made up of two excellent one-act plays by Harold Pinter – Party Time and The Lover. Though both plays were written some time ago (Party Time in 1991, The Lover in the early 1960s), they speak to us just as strongly now, and this production, directed by Jack Heller, sets them in current times."
