You must understand that it was a different world that Pinter grew up and wrote in, it was much easier to shock an audience than it is now! This is a very different play to what we see in the mainstream now and thus must be treated that way.I would myself prefer a more linear storyline with greater pace, however this play has got us talking and has got us thinking so Job done i would say! well done to all those involved!!!!
