I saw Kristin Scott Thomas in Pinter's Betrayal in London around 2011. The story moves in reverse. The conclusion is at the beginning of the play. Very Pinterish. And why not?!
Perfectly put. You read Pinter and you're reminded that though the character have been talking about olives for 15 minutes, this scene isn't about olives.
From Pinter's "The Dumb Waiter":
GUS. Have you noticed the time that tank takes to fill?
BEN. What tank?
GUS. In the lavatory.
BEN. No, Does it?
GUS. Terrible.
BEN. Well, what about it?
GUS. What do you think's the matter with it?
BEN. Nothing.
GUS. Nothing?
BEN. It's got a deficient ballcock, that's all.
GUS. A deficient what?
BEN. Ballcock.
GUS. No? Really?
BEN. That's what I should say.
GUS. Go on! That didn't occur to me.

Pinter is a good choice. About nothing. About nowhere.
