'A NIGHT OUT*

on Third Programme

A play for radio by Harold Pinter
Characters:
Production by Donald McWhinnle (: third broadcast)
When A Night Out, written for the Third Programme, was first broadcast in March, The Times critic wrote that it 'uses the medium with certainty and inventiveness ... Mr. Pinter's wilderness is extremely disturbing: it has a quality that holds and convinces the listener. A large cast acted impeccably, precisely making actual Mr. Pinter's comically dreadful world.'
