‘Simon Gray’s quietly riveting new play, The Late Middle Classes, is about adapting to life after the Second World War. Harold Pinter’s atmospheric, absorbing production elicits superb performances from Gray’s cast of shell-shocked characters.’ Georgina Brown, The Mail on Sunday

'Simon Gray's deeply satisfying, funny-sad and perceptive new play is set in the 1950s world of tennis and gin and more gin, and dealing with one's inferiors, being a boon to one's husband, and trying to forget the less constricted world the war had opened up to women. Harold Pinter's pitch-perfect production, beautifully acted by the likes of Harriet Walter and Nicholas Woodeson, emphasises not only the Rattiganesque stage-craft but a Dickensian range of sympathies.' Paul Taylor, The Independent
