Snark. Status. Strangeness. The alchemy of envy and manipulation seems unlikely to turn viciousness into comedy, but such is the magic of Harold Pinter. Improvising as our own worst selves, we will juggle the mask of social niceities with the demons beneath it that wish to torment, but never so overtly as to be discovered. Learn to craft monologues that seem to ramble, but actually create an atmosphere of menace; practice exchanges punctuated by pauses that are all pregnant with subtext. Repression, oppression and obsession all dance in equal glee at the party that is Pinter. Come learn to improvise this rich mid-century British theatre style with BATS faculty Rebecca Stockley and Brian Lohmann.
