Page "No Man's Land (play)" Paragraph 21

Both Billington and Paul Taylor ( in The Independent ) give the production 4 out of 5 stars, while Charles Spencer, reviewing the production in The Daily Telegraph, like other critics making inevitable comparisons with the original production, rates it as " equally fine, with Michael Gambon and David Bradley rising magnificently to the benchmark set by their illustrious predecessors ," but points out that he too does not feel that he fully understands it: " Even after three decades I cannot claim fully to understand this haunting drama that proves by turns funny, scary, and resonantly poetic, but I have no doubt that it is one of the handful of indisputable modern classics that Pinter has written, and a piece that will haunt and tantalise the memory of all who see it.
