The STAN actors create a play, just the four of them, without any outsiders. The last time this happened was in 1997, with Private Lives .
… a play which would make people laugh when their seaside summer holidays were spoiled by the rain and they came into the theatre to get dry before trudging back to their landladies. this seemed to me as worthwhile a reason for writing a play as any … / … beware of the writer who puts forward his concern for you to embrace, who leaves you in no doubt of his worthiness, his usefulness, his altruism, who declares that his heart is in the right place, and ensures that it can be seen in full view …
ayckbourn / pinter
of/niet was part of the selection for the 2006 edition of the Dutch theatre festival TF-1.
Excerpt from the jury report:
A terrific performance: the public can be assured they’ll have a wonderful night out. In this traditional comedy about infidelity and adultery the misunderstandings pile up, accompanied by a huge wink, but without overwhelming the tragic undertones. This is high-grade comedy, technically proficient and performed with unparalleled pleasure.
The framework of Pinter’s play gives it a vicious edge. After the belly laughs we’re faced with a dreadfully tough question: is this the type of theatre we wish on ourselves? Would we rather laugh at a simple Ayckbourn? Or do we want a kind of theatre that asks forthright questions about the spirit of the times? Is a combination possible? Or not?
