One act plays by two of the British theatre's greatest living writers, Harold Pinter and Brian Friel, explore characters who struggle to understand the past in order to shape their futures.

Harold Pinter's Ashes to Ashes depicts a husband's efforts to unearth information about a mysterious relationship in his wife's past.

In Friels's Afterplay, characters from two of Anton Chekhov's major plays, The Three Sisters and Uncle Vanya, meet twenty years later in a shabby Moscow cafe.
