By Harold Pinter. Sport For Jove. Old Fitz Theatre, Woolloomooloo NSW. July 18 – August 10, 2025
Harold Pinter’s renowned 1978 classic reveals the lies and infidelity swirling between a woman, her publisher husband, and his best friend, a literary agent. Pinter famously tells the story backwards, beginning when the two now former lovers have a polite reunion and ending when the affair began a decade earlier.
This rear vision makes the lies in both their marriages all the clearer - whether mistaking petty details or white fibs or the gross, fundamental lies. We focus on these sliding truths, not any chronological melodrama.
