| Without Walls: Party Time, Channel 4, 17 November 1992 |

Producer - Michael Custance Gavin - Barry Foster
"Party Time's transfer from the Almeida Theatre to the screen is a succesful one. An insistent use of close-ups gives the menacing sense of being pulled up by the scruff of the neck. For this production, Pinter wrote in extra characters, and the running time is a little longer than it was on stage. And under his direction - deliberate, stylised, muscularly tight, almost choreographed - the play seemed to take shape like a series of formal dances." Nigella Lawson, The Times, Weekend, 21 November 1992. "Pinter1s direction turns eavesdropping into an art" Michael Davidson, The Jewish Chronicle, 13 November 1992. |
