Len, Pete and Mark are old mates. They have the sort of friendship that it is difficult to survive. When the narcissistic Pete falls in love with Virginia the comradeship of their small world starts to disintegrate into mistrust. As Pete and Mark s rivalry escalates, Len's paranoia spirals into insanity, and he starts to imagine a party of dwarfs hovering on the edge of his already strange existence. The Dwarfs is adapted from Pinter s first work and his only novel. Semi-autobiographical, it is a fascinating, disturbing and humorous study of Pinter from his own hand. Two violent and disturbing plays originally staged as companion pieces; this will be the first opportunity to see them performed together since 1966.| 22 May 00 to 17 Jun 00 | Lyric Hammersmith Theatre Outer London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
