Bhavan
Presented By: Preksha Theatre Group
Written By: Harold Pinter
Directed by: Mr. Shyam Kishore
Language: English
The Lovers present us with an archetypal situation in which an ultra-
respectable couple acts out afternoon fantasies as lover and whore.
Harold Pinters fascinating writing skill leads us into a triangular
jealousy-drama enacted by two people and shows the danger of
splitting our sexual lives into watertight compartments. The play
makes a serious social point: that whereas the wife adapts easily to her
dual role as respectable consort and randy mistress, the husband
slowly cracks under the strain of a double identity. The Lovers stands
the inevitable test of time pretty well and it goes very well with our
opening up social views.
