If you haven't seen a Pinter play...do some research before you head to Center Stage.

A philosophy professor returns home to London from America with his wife in tow to meet his family. A simple enough premise, but in the hands of absurdist playwright Harold Pinter, the result is something less than warm and fuzzy.

Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater continues its inaugural season this spring with an unparalleled tribute to one of the nation's greatest living playwrights, Edward Albee. The company has mounted a two-month festival featuring 30 events, making nearly every one of his plays available in performance spaces throughout the Mead Center.
