No Man’s Land

I saw the wonderful Sydney Theatre Company production of Pinter’s play just recently – Gaden and Carroll attacked the text with ebullience and a half gallon of whisky.  Alcohol makes memory a stranger.   And we must with Pinter’s play, as his characters do with alcohol, give ourselves over to total immersion.  I seem to recall that Cate Blanchett played the drinks cabinet, but er… hmm… pass the port.
