Description Two one act plays by Harold Pinter. The Lover: contrasts humdrum domesticity with sexual yearning and explores where the two may lead. The Collection: An affair takes place - or does it? This is the question that cuckolded husband James is desperately trying to answer. Invading the lives of young, attractive dress designer Bill and his older partner Harry, James begins his queries. Did his wife Stella really sleep with Bill at a Leeds hotel? Or did they just talk?
