George
Irving as Duff ...brilliantly deploying Pinter’s notorious pauses
to illuminate what shadows their seemingly random recollections of
feeding ducks, lying on a beach, standing on a railway platform. It’s
theatre made out of almost nothing – and it’s all the
more beautiful and terrifying as a result. |

Irving
shines as George, with his dry delivery and natural flair for performing.
His rapport with each character is flawless, and the difficult task
he faces of portraying a fine line between heartache and facade is
something that he attacks with panache and ease.
