Night School by HAROLD PINTER
This short play shows us Harold Pinter in a very light-hearted mood, despite the wistful sadness of its strange love story. It is rich in amusing situations and its characters are highly diverting - in particular there are two delightful old aunts striving to conceal from their nephew that in his absence they have let his room to a young schoolteacher.
