D\u00e9cor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Old Times&#8217; is set on a late summer\u2019s eve in 1970 when husband and wife Deeley and Kate welcome Anna, Kate\u2019s old friend and flatmate, into their home. Over the course of the evening, and many brandies, the trio recall the old times in London, twenty years earlier. It soon becomes obvious, however, that not all memories are recalled equally, leading to tension and questions for everyone\u2026including the audience.<\/p>\n<p>Considered by many to be\u00a0one of Pinter&#8217;s finest plays, &#8216;Old Times&#8217;\u00a0is something of a puzzle, in much the same way as a poem can be puzzling at first, and therefore its meaning is open to individual interpretation by each member of the\u00a0audience. In fact, the play is often referred to as a poem in dramatic form, the piece as a whole seen as\u00a0a metaphor for the &#8216;unknowability&#8217; of the past, and how the\u00a0past can be reshaped\u00a0to become a more comforting\u00a0part of our own identities in the present, which may in turn lead to conflict with another&#8217;s version of the past, with another&#8217;s memories, another &#8216;truth&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CAST<\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>DEELEY<\/td>\n<td><strong>Richard
