In the final act, one character makes a drunken pass to his best friend's wife, and it was inspired by its author's relationship with Joan Bakewell.
One insult in this drama sees one character wanting to blacken his former friend's wedding dress before serving as his best man. The deterioration of a relationship is marked by two characters no longer playing squash, and though Roger Casey never appears, he is noted as being a bad though profitable writer for those characters. One character uses a speedboat strike as an ecuse, while another read Yeats on Torcello. In the final act, one character makes a drunken pass to his best friend's wife, and it was inspired by its author's relationship with Joan Bakewell. The first scene begins in 1977, and the play proceeds in more or less (*) reverse chronological order to the ninth scene in 1968. The plot turns on the fact that Jerry spends years unaware that his affair with Emma is known to his best friend Robert. For 10 points, name this Pinter play in which the three central characters repeatedly commit the title action. [Shantanu]
