A love affair told in reverse, David Hugh Jones' direction of Pinter's semi-autobiographical play (for which he wrote the script) explores the complex emotions which drive marital infidelity. A suave literary agent has an affair with the wife of a book publisher who also happens to be his best friend. Each actor is perfectly cast: Irons embodies the deluded dreams of the agent, Kingsley is frighteningly seething as the publisher, and Hodge sympathetically conveys her conflicted desire for both men.
