"I've always rather liked Jerry. To be honest, I've always liked him rather more than I've liked you. Maybe I should have had an affair with him myself." Sometimes you'll find there can be three people in a marriage...... Over a period of nine years, we are shown the high price of passion and the damage inflicted by desire. Harold Pinter's play explores how our loves and our losses echo and accumulate through time.
