We celebrated our homecoming from the Middle East with a visit to the theatre to see this wonderful production of, coincidentally, Pinter’s The Homecoming.
What a cast. Lindsay Duncan, Michael Sheen, Eddie Marsan, Keith Allen & David Bradley. Roger Michell directed it.
Here is a link to the Theatricalia entry.
Janie and I were both really taken with the play and the production.
Paul Taylor in the Independent really didn’t like it:

Nicholas de Jongh in The Standard was not too sure either:

Charles Spencer in The Telegraph seemed more or less to “get it” in the way we got it:

While my friend Michael Billington in the Guardian got it:
