Thank you for posting this! I am reading this play for an English class and it is much easier to understand if I can watch the action.

I'm not the only one who thinks this is just like the plot to In Bruges am I?

[Fantasy9Knight]

@rosieknitter you are welcome, and yes it looks like Bruges plot

Saw this at the trafalger with Lee Evans and Jason Issacs and must admit I preferred the stage version, think its one of those plays that needs the audience there. The day I went to see it they were filming it for the theatre archives, I would love to see it on here.

[Fantasy9Knight]

@jaci999 yes it is far better to see a play on the stage

Pinter's finest one-act play and said to be the inspiration for Reservoir Dogs....

I recomend to all those in the UK atthe moment to try and check our Director Nico Vaccari's version of this play at lincoln Drill hall and Hodgesock priory. I have never seen a more intense version.

tarantino ripped this off for a scene in pulp fiction a royale with cheese scene is very similer to acene later on in this

Thank god this is on here. Reading absurdist plays always brings along a feeling that it's lacking something. Plus the fact that since I'm a fast reader I blaze through the lines, completely ruining all the pauses that the author puts in.

@rosieknitter

no, you're not, I'm a teacher of literature and I agree with you 100 %...

Tut tut Wikipedia in the description. Thx for the vid(s) :D

Yes, In Bruges recalls The Dumb Waiter as The Lonesome West recalls True West. Martin McDonagh wrote In Bruges and Lonesome West as "tips of the hat" to Pinter and Shepard.

[touchandgod]

First thing I thought when I saw it. If you filtered In Bruges through absurdism.

I have the play with John Travolta and Tom Conti.
