Pinero was drawn to the theatre from an early age, and became a professional actor at the age of 19. He gained experience as a supporting actor in British provincial theatres, and from 1876 to 1881 was a member of Henry Irving's company, based at the Lyceum Theatre, London. (Source : Wikipedia) * The Thunderbolt : Considered one of Pinero's most influential plays, The Thunderbolt is a gripping drama that explores the themes of love, guilt, and revenge. Set in a small English village, this play is a powerful exploration of the darker aspects of human nature. * The Benefit of the Doubt : The plot resolves around a young woman being cited in court as "The Other Woman" in a divorce case, and how her family reacts to it.
