"Moonlight" is one of Pinter's most human plays. It is suffused with universal emotions: the cold dread of death and eternal loneliness, the pain of separation from loved ones, the longing for reunion and continuity of the family.
"Moonlight" premeired in 1993 at the Almeida in London, and the following year in New York at the Roundabout. Written at the age of 65, it appears to be Pinter's last full-length play; a beautiful comment by a master artist on the last stage of life.
"There is no playwright his equal... Pinter works the language as a master pianist works the keyboard. This is classical playwriting, make no mistake about it."
