About the production
In a secluded country home, Kate and Anna reunite after twenty years to reminisce about their bohemian youth in London, but after-dinner drinks turn dangerous as history is rewritten.
“Dramaturg:Kate Hardiman”
— Dialects:Anita Deely
“A very sexy production of what unspools here as a very sensual play. It will have you on the edge of your seat.”
— Chicago Tribune,
“Director Kimberly Senior’s decision to cast younger actors in Harold Pinter’s 1971 work – Old Times – brings a strong sense of sensuality to the work not found when older actors play the threesome.”
— Chicago Critic
“Kimberly Senior’s direction impressively handles Pinter’s pauses.” “The weight that exists in the unspoken exemplifies the specificity Senior and her ensemble employ in defining the characters’ complex, mercurial relationships.”
— Time Out Chicago
“Using silence and timing to perfection, Director Kimberly Senior builds the intrigue and the questions.”
— ChicagoNow, Katy Walsh
“Having proved a dab hand at Chekhov for Strawdog Theatre, Kimberly Senior returns to the company to direct this taut, ultimately haunting portrait of middle-aged marrieds Deeley and Kate, whose lives are disturbed by the arrival of Anna, Kate's flatmate from 20 years back.”
— Chicago Reader
