“My Chat With Harold Pinter” by Leaning House

What do you do when your neurodivergent brain isn’t playing ball? It would rather recount tweets and past traumas. Jen has decided the only way forward is to ask Harold Pinter for help – this play won’t write itself. The only problem is Pinter doesn’t play ball either, he prefers cricket.

What do you do when your neurodivergent brain isn’t playing ball? It would rather recount tweets and past traumas. Jen has decided the only way forward is to ask Harold Pinter for help – this play won’t write itself. The only problem is Pinter doesn’t play ball either, he prefers cricket. Can Jen make this collaboration work and find some ND joy? And while we’re at it, is Pinter a feminist and what on earth is gender anyway?

 

A new play from Miriam Higgins featuring Harold Pinter (sort of).

 

“Funny and wise, touching and intelligent, Miriam Higgins’ playful play is a breath of fresh air. Highly recommended.” – Harry Burton (actor and director)

“Somehow [Higgins] managed to catch Tom Stoppard while sleeping and reached in to the darker side of his imagination.” – Henley Review, MERCUTIO AND TYBALT (2017)

“This cleverly written and ambitious play will have you pondering about the nature of reality and the dividing line between it and fantasy.” – Buxton Fringe, DREAMSCAPE (2018)

 

*Recommended for 12+ (contains some swearing, references to sexual assault, and mental self-harm)
