The Collection is a 1961 play by Harold Pinter. The play is a four-hander showing two couples, James and Stella and Harry and Bill. It is a comedy, laced with typical Pinter uncertainty and danger, about whether or not Stella and Bill had a one-night stand while away on business in Leeds. (Naturally we never know for sure).
