R3 Sun 5/1/14BBC description: In a remote farmhouse, Deeley and Kate await a visitor. Anna is Kate's best friend, though Deeley has never met her. Is the past really as they remember it?
Old Times is a play about memory and desire. Tantalisingly enigmatic, it is a play about people in their forties looking back on old times, about reconciling the young person and the adult, about how you imagined things were going to be and how they turned out.
”I remember you dead.”
In this production, the BBC blanks out the inhalation, exhalation smoking sounds, and this play is FULL of cigarettes.
