Dull small talk is not the issue at this social gathering; Absent Friends is set at a tea party full of social embarrassment, bad manners and cringe worthy comedy. With the recent loss of his fiancé, Colin is invited to be consoled by his married friends; however once the kettle is boiled an underlying brew of jealousy, infidelity and loathing begins to bubble over. It comes to light that Colin may not be the only one amongst his friends who is in need of some help.
 

About Harold Pinter Theatre

The Comedy Theatre's 1881 interior is one of the oldest in London and one of the most charming, in spite of the damage wrought by an ill-considered restoration in 1954. The Renaissance-style auditorium, with its wooden panels, and gold ceiling and wallpaper, still retains many original features, while the unpretentious exterior is the most attractive and unspoilt among London's smaller theatres.
