Atlantic's Harold Pinter Double Bill Begins 11/3

Atlantic returns to the work of Tony Award® and Nobel Prize winning playwright Harold Pinter, (the first major production of his work to be done in NYC since his death in 2008) following its critically hailed 2005 production of his first and last plays The Room and Celebration.

DIRECTOR
Director Karen Kohlhaas is a founding member of the Atlantic Theater Company who returns to staging the work of Harold Pinter following her acclaimed production of The Hothouse at Atlantic. Karen most recently directed the world premiere of Annie Baker's Body Awareness at Atlantic.

In THE COLLECTION (1961), a 4:00am phone call and a surprise visitor set off a series of conversations
about potential infidelities among two couples. And a middle-aged woman who has been asleep in a
hospital room awakens after thirty years and must reorient herself to a greatly changed world in A KIND
OF ALASKA (1982), which was inspired by the work of Oliver Sacks in his seminal book, Awakenings.

Atlantic will present the production at Classic Stage Company (136 East 13th Street), while its main stage 20th Street theater is under renovation.
