Overview

• The revival runs at London’s Harold Pinter Theatre with performances scheduled through 6 December and a runtime of about 100 minutes.
• Gleeson plays Jack alongside Kate Phillips, Owen McDonnell, Tom Vaughan‑Lawlor and Seán McGinley in a tightly knit ensemble.
• Set in a meticulously rendered rural pub, the drama unfolds through eerie tales shared with a newcomer from Dublin.
• Reviews highlight Rae Smith’s convincingly timeworn design, which deepens the production’s intimate, lived‑in atmosphere.
• Critical response is broadly positive, citing Gleeson’s standout presence while noting some thin archetypal humour and a occasionally cosy tone.
