Five Revue Sketches by Harold Pinter

1) That's Your Trouble 2) Trouble in the Works- (N.B. As published in Pinter: Plays II, this sketch ends on the line "Trouble". When asked by FIBBS "What do they want to make in its place?", WILLS replies, in line with the title, theme, and metaphorical conceit of the sketch, "Trouble" but, if memory serves, Pinter changed the last line in certain performances and screen interpretations of this sketch. The BBC, for example, released an animated version of the sketch in the 70s in which WILLS answers that the factory workers don't wish to make trouble, they wish to make something else. Love. And then, quite whimsically, (and comedically), a flourish of red hearts invaded the screen). 3) Last to Go 4) Special Offer 5) Apart From That Music: Messaien: II. Dieu est Saint from Meditations sur le mystere de Trinite Messaien: Turangalila Symphony, II. You by The Aquatones Station by Lapsley (Copyright)- Pinter Estate
