Like Pinter's earlier plays, Old Times deals with bare essentials. There are only three characters—a man named Deeley, his wife, Kate, and Anna, a friend of Kate's whom they have not seen for twenty years. Beneath the surface of their taut, witty conversation lurks suggestions of darkness, until the present is overwhelmed with intimations of some frightening past.

Old Times
I find Pinter interesting and challenging as a playwright. His plays--like so many modern playwrights--need to be seen as well as read to fully appreciate them. I had the same experience with The Homecoming, I found that it was only by both reading the play and seeing the teleplay that I could appreciate it. I think that when I see Old Times this coming March I will get a much better sense of how it moves and what the characters mean, especially by their silences.
Pinter is the great playwright of silence, which can sometimes make the plays hard to read. So much is conveyed between the spoken dialogue, much of which is lost when the words aren't being performed. Although I struggled to envision Old Times, I did like the play. It's fascinating how Pinter puts together the conflicting desires and relationships through the gaps and absences in his dialogue.
