The trouble with this kind of production is that the director etc. have such 'right-on' attitudes that you will find nothing whatever in it that is fresh and original, everything is so utterly predictable, although though they are evidently trying desperately hard to be original and above all, 'irreverent'. Although the approach is misguided in itself in my view, the trouble with this production is that it was executed so desperately badly, as you bring out in your review of it. Though Harold Pinter's performance does stick in my memory as being wonderfully creepy.
