Backspin presents Moonlight by Harold Pinter showing at the Lyric, Hammersmith August 21-24...
Harold Pinter’s final full-length play is an elegiac meditation on family, grief and mortality, shot through with raucous wit.
Andy, an ailing, foul-mouthed patriarch, is desperate for reconciliation with his two estranged sons. Haunted by the ghostly presence of his dead daughter Bridget and the very real presence of his irascible wife Bel, the dying Andy muses on guilt, lost loves and parenthood, all the while knowing that the end is in sight.
Backspin is a theatre company dedicated to staging new interpretations of the plays of Harold Pinter, providing the opportunity for young actors and technicians to engage creatively with the work of the Nobel Prize-winning dramatist. The patrons include Dame Penelope Wilton and Professor Sir Stanley Wells.
