Beautifully stated. I, too, was surprised at how emotionally gripping this production was. The acting and direction were superb, and the minimal staging kept the focus on the human characters and their complex connections. I have always appreciated Pinter's work, and this production did it justice.

This is the fourth (or more) versions (from the 1st with Roy Scheider and Raoul Julia and Blythe Danner to Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz) I've seen. I liked this the most -- perhaps getting old(er) helps understand the relationships better. The acting, especially Hiddelson, was great. I liked the lighting designs and the turntables. I thought that the director, who specializes in Pinter, did a remarkable job. We had, fortunately, great seats which made the actors easy to understand (good sound design, I guess) and see. Pinter, like Shakespeare, gets better and better with each viewing.
