Harold Pinter Festival - "The Collection" and "The Applicant"

Marking its seventh season, Stanford Summer Theater will host a festival of Harold Pinter plays, film screenings, and a community symposium on Pinter's work.

On Friday and Saturday nights, stay after THE LOVER and NIGHT for:

THE COLLECTION and THE APPLICANT

Directed by Rush Rehm and Ed Iskandar. Friday and Saturday nights: July 15 through August 6, at 10:00 p.m. in the Eleanor Prosser Studio Theater. $10/$5 students, at door.

THE COLLECTION

In THE COLLECTION (1961), Pinter uses the mystery of a possible infidelity to bring two disparate couples together. In a tour de force of innuendo and suspicion, the four characters wage psychological warfare that is both unnerving and desperately funny.

THE APPLICANT

THE APPLICANT (1958) deals with a young physicist who interviews for a job, but is the prim woman sitting across from him what she appears to be? Did she anticipate the infamous Zimbardo experiment at Stanford? Or is she the archetypal male fantasy?
