2-for-1 Theater Night: "Old Times"
Harold Pinter's "Old
Times" gets a fresh reading by the Paragon
ensemble at the Crossroads Theater, and it's
2 for the price of 1
!!!
A seemingly innocent visit from an old friend escalates
into a desperate battle for possession of a soul. Pinter masterfully
weaves menace and mystery throughout this hypnotic piece. As three people
fight to fully know one another, we're reminded that there are more than two
sides to every truth. 3 stars from The Denver Post!
Get your 2-for-1 tickets online at Paragon's website:
http://www.paragontheatre.org/oldtimes.php
The Crossroads is located at the corner of Washington
and Welton Streets (2590 Washington St)
...FREE PARKING in the
adjacent garage on the Washington St entrance.
