​
An East End criminal returns home from prison to find his room has been occupied by a mysterious woman with a secret. Set in the sweaty nightclubs and claustrophobic boarding houses of 1960s London, this is a rare opportunity to see the brilliantly witty and vivid Night School.
​
Part of the Pinter at the Pinter Season, celebrating the life and work of Harold Pinter. Night School plays alongside Lyndsey Turner's Production of Moonlight.

​
Director Ed Stambollouian injects jazzy verve into the story of Walter, a forger returning from a spell in prison.
★★★★ The Evening Standard
​
Pinter with the restraints off.
★★★★ British Theatre
​
Ed Stambollouian’s ravishing, bare-staged revival gives us a heady sense of something strange and familiar.
The Times
​
Rising star director Ed Stambollouian gives it the sort of irreverent, punky production that we rarely get with Pinter.
Time Out
​
Ed Stambollouian brings snap and crackle to Night School.
Financial Times
​
Ed Stambollouian directs with real style.
WhatsOnStage
​
Ed Stambollouian's electrifying take on Night School takes the boldest staging decisions we've seen so far in this season, and with stellar results.
Broadway World
​
Night School is an absolute delight, a 50-minute play that is a joy from start to finish.
Night School really is one of the highlights of the season so far, proving that taking the right approach makes Pinter’s work seem fresh and endlessly inventive.
