Truth, Power and Relationships in Harold Pinter’s work.
“I’m honest with you, aren’t I? Why can’t you be honest with me?”
Hear from women leaders—all authorities on relationship dynamics—as they discuss the connection between intimacy and power in Harold Pinter’s The Lover and The Collection and in the world around us.
Inspired by the Women’s Voices Theater Festival, STC’s “Unsex Me Here” Series tackles the complex portrayals of and demands upon women in the classic theatre canon, STC’s mainstage season and modern day workplaces.
