We can add two other photographs to the series. They were posted by The Guardian. www.theguardian.com/stage/gallery/2015/feb/24/patrick-marber-closer-donmar-in-picturesThat's how the play started on the first night. Now it starts with the 4 sitting one each corner on the bed. On this bed? Did they change the start because of the spoiler complaints? "But placing the memorial plaques of Postman’s Park - where several encounters take place - along the back wall is a bold decision, essentially mounting a spoiler in full view... Then again, Marber often gives the audience more knowledge about the characters than they have about each other, so perhaps it simply serves as a constant gloomy reminder that deception can be there from the very start of a relationship." (Independent)

Thanks for posting all the pictures, Adina! It helps to be able to visualize the scenes we know from reading the play or seeing the movie!

I couldn't decide where to post this but decided on this thread as it's more current. How spooky is this? Clive Owen, an Oscar nominee for “Closer” who is now starring on the Cinemax series “The Knick,” will make his Broadway debut in the fall in a revival of Harold Pinter’s “Old Times,” Roundabout Theater Company announced on Monday.
The director will be Douglas Hodge, the Tony Award-winning actor (“La Cage aux Folles”) who considered Pinter a mentor and starred in several of his plays in London. (Pinter, who received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2005, died in 2008.) “Old Times,” a chilling drama about the intersecting relationships among a husband, a wife, and her best friend, will begin performances on Sept. 17 at either the American Airlines Theater or Studio 54, which are both Roundabout houses. Roundabout has another play lined up for Broadway this fall, “Thérèse Raquin” starring Keira Knightley, whose theater has yet to be announced. Roundabout executives are now discussing which theater is best for each play.
A different revival of “Old Times” ran in London in 2013, starring Rufus Sewell, Kristin Scott Thomas and Lia Williams, in which the two women traded roles at different performances. Casting for the two female characters is underway for the Roundabout production.
THEATER, OWEN, CLIVE, ROUNDABOUT THEATER CO, THEATER artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/03/02/clive-owen-to-make-broadway-debut-in-pinters-old-times/I hadn't realised Clive Owen was Oscar nominated for Closer. He's a brave man following Rufus's Deeley in Old Times.....

Well shoot! Old Times comes to Broadway but not with Rufus. Maybe we'll get lucky and Clive will have to bow out and Rufus will swoop in to save the play.

Great find, Nell! And I agree with you about Clive Owen:

I agree Rachel! NOT FAIR!
Not sure I would consider that an Oscar nominated performance. But to be fair, I haven't seen the movie in a while.
