About The Death of Nelson The Death of Nelson is not a biography of Britain’s favourite monocular naval hero but instead a one-act one-man tragicomedy about people and politics; about friendship and betrayal; about love and regret; and about growing up and growing old (or not, as the case may be). Set over 18 years between the high tide of Thatcherism and the hopeful dawn of the New Labour ‘project’, the play charts the often turbulent relationship between Richie, his godson Nelson, and Nelson’s parents – student radicals who named their son for Nelson Mandela, but whose radicalism is eroded on the long journey to government. Meanwhile, as Nelson’s parents are losing their idealism, the once apolitical Richie is busy acquiring – and trying to hold onto – some idealism of his own. ‘A TOUR DE FORCE’ – Charles Webb, author of The Graduate ‘…a complex and compelling narrative… a heady mix of insight, humour, student brawls and ‘80s politics – a must see.’ – Louise Hooper of the BBC’s The Culture Show Please note that this play includes some strong language.

About Ashes to Ashes "Kiss my fist." Rebecca, Ashes to Ashes Harold Pinter’s one act masterpiece Ashes to Ashes is "…an extraordinarily powerful work: elusive, mesmeric and disturbing." A man questions a woman in a psychological game of cat and mouse where brutality, domination and power interweave with anxiety, insecurity and reckless curiosity. A twisted and perverted love-story that explores the link between sexual Fascism and its political counterpart. Does drama get any stranger than this?

The Lover by Harold Pinter
	Director: Jane Huxley and Saul Ware Cast: Saul Ware, Jane Huxley and John Griffiths Venue: The Priory Playhouse, London Road, Arundel Dates: Tuesday 11th January 2005 to Saturday 15th January 2005 at 8pm Tickets: £6.50 Box office: 01903 267729
About The Lover Although much admired for its formal elegance, the stunningly simple and irresistibly warped premise of The Lover must have perplexed audiences when first produced in 1963. Richard and Sarah live in a detached house in Windsor; Richard is the typical commuter to the city who leaves his wife each morning and returns in the evening. But the illusion of respectability is shattered when Sarah calmly discusses with her husband the lover who visits her in the afternoons. One of Harold Pinter’s most direct exercises, this one act play is a subtle and intimate comedy described by Pinter’s biographer, Michael Billington, as “… an absolute gem.” thinktanktheatre’s highly praised production ("marvellous" "absorbing" "excellent") was originally performed in The Mill Studio at The Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, Guildford in July 2004.

One of Pinter's most direct exercises, The Lover is a darkly comic tale of the necessity and danger of fantasy. "...an absolute gem, one of the most candid and revealing plays about sex in the English language." Michael Billington
