Based on Nobel Prize winner Annie Ernaux’s groundbreaking masterpiece, The Years is an unapologetic portrait of a woman shaped by her rapidly-changing world.
Writer, mother, student, activist, wife, daughter, lover, grandmother… each vivid version of Annie is told through a series of snapshots. Weaving together memory and history, an ordinary life is marked by a changing body and a changing society, revealing a “remarkable picture of womanhood over the 20th century” (Daily Mail). With “so much emotional depth, surprise and theatrical virtuosity” (The Guardian) The Years “moves you in ways theatre often tries to but rarely achieves” (The Independent).
Deborah Findlay, Gina McKee, Tuppence Middleton, Anjli Mohindra and Harmony Rose-Bremner deliver “an acting masterclass” (The Times), their performances “glorious and continually unexpected” (The Observer).
Don’t miss your chance to see this provocative, visceral production, playing for a strictly limited run at Harold Pinter Theatre until 19 April 2025.
The production is not able to guarantee the appearance of any specific actor due to illness or unforeseen circumstances.
A masterpiece - extraordinarily profound and yet playful drama- The Guardian
A unique, profoundly moving experience. It moved me in ways theatre often tries to but rarely achieves- The Independent
Harold Pinter Theatre
The Harold Pinter Theatre opened in 1881 as the Royal Comedy Theatre and staged hugely successful shows, such as The Rocky Horror Show’s West End debut. The name changed in 2011 to The Harold Pinter Theatre in honour of Pinter’s work for the Comedy Theatre.
The theatre recently produced Pinter at the Pinter, a series of one-act plays in celebration of Pinter himself.
