Everything in Flora’s garden is lovely, and would be for Edward too, if it were not for the slight ache in his eyes and the mysterious figure standing at the gate. A Slight Ache is one of several short plays written by Harold Pinter for radio and later brought to the stage. With a touch of the absurd, a hint of menace, and the skilful use of meaningful silences – this is the essence of early Pinter drama. A memorable and intriguing play by one of the most influential playwrights of British theatre.
This production is suitable for ages 12 and over.
This amateur production of A SLIGHT ACHE is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French, Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
