'http://www.the-print-room.org/theatre/spring-2016-season/five-finger-exercise-by-peter-shaffer/ Print Room at the Coronet presents FIVE FINGER EXERCISE by Peter Shaffer, 18 January - 13 February 2016 The Print Room is excited to start the year with a new production of this play directed by Jamie Glover, following the success of his production of The Dumb Waiter by Harold Pinter at the Print Room in 2013. A taut family drama from the writer of Amadeus and Equus. When a handsome young German arrives in 50’s Britain from a traumatised Europe and takes up the position of tutor for the Harrington family, it appears that he has found comfort in the bosom of their home. But his arrival is the catalyst that reveals the deep, impacted layers of this family’s dysfunction. The earliest stage success from the writer of Amadeus and Equus, Five Finger Exercise was first presented in 1958 under the direction of John Gielgud at the Comedy Theatre, London, where it won the Evening Standard Drama Award. The show moved to New York the following year and won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Foreign Play, firmly establishing Peter Shaffer\'s reputation as one of Britain\'s best playwrights.'
