"A Slight Ache" at Odyssey Theatre

Harold Pinter fans can enjoy 72 minutes of quintessential Pinter in the Nobel Prize-winning playwright's rarely-produced early work. Written in 1958, this tragicomedy of manners is a funny, ominous and unsettling journey into the human psyche. As married couple Flora and Edward breakfast in their garden, a wasp circles menacingly overhead while Edward feels "a slight ache" in his eyes. And who is that derelict match seller hovering just beyond the garden gate? A visiting production at the always comfortable Odyssey Theatre
