"Both plays are directed by the author, who has orchestrated their expanding silences and bursts of energy with the care of a chamber musician."

The Times, 19 September 1963

"As it happens, Pinter's own production [of The Dwarfs], though it does not altogether hide the untheatrical nature of the material, does manage to hit on just the right tone... The result is that one does not finally care about whether the play is or is not in theory 'theatrical'; it is a riveting experience in the theatre."

John Russell Taylor, Plays and Players, November 1963.
