Pretending To Be Something It Isn't.

A scene from the play, with characters Sarah and Richard.

Oxford seems to be indulging in permanent thespian onanism over Harold Pinter, and the latest manifestation of this is a production of The Lover. Exploring the themes of identity, subterfuge and trust, The Lover focuses on the twisted interactions of a middle-class married couple in the ostensibly genteel surroundings of 1960s Windsor.
