Synopsis

Old Times was first presented by the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Aldwych Theatre, London, on 1 June 1971.

It was revived at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in July 2004.'Old Times is a joyous, wonderful play that people will talk about as long as we have a theatre.' New York Times'What am I writing about Not the weasel under the cocktail cabinet... I can sum up none of my plays.

I can describe none of them, except to say: that is what happened.

This is what they said.

That is what they did.' Harold Pinter
