Precisely (sketch)

Precisely is a dramatic sketch by the English playwright Harold Pinter.

Pinter wrote "Precisely" for The Big One, a theatrical evening arranged by the peace movement at London's Apollo Theatre, on 18 December 1983.[1] Directed by the author, the sketch concerns two men, Stephen and Roger, who argue about the exact number of a figure, whether 20 million or more. It becomes clear that they are talking about body counts.

Original cast

Stephen - Barry Foster
Roger - Martin Jarvis
