Somewhere in an authoritarian state. Former military Colonel Roote runs an institution where bureaucracy rules and the inmates are reduced to numbers. When one Christmas day, the cantankerous Colonel is confronted by a double crisis with the death of one inmate and the pregnancy of another, he finds himself increasingly cornered and sees the system he obeys so respectfully slip away. The Hothouse is a blackly comic portrait of the insidious corruption of power and demonstrates how far people will go to keep a system alive that is long condemned to fail.

  • The Hothouse and Dynamic Equilibrium in the Works of Harold Pinter
    Ben Ferber The Hothouse and Dynamic Equilibrium in the Works of Harold Pinter I have no doubt that history will recognize Harold Pinter as one of the most influential dramatists of all time, a perennial inspiration for the way we look at modern theater. If other playwrights use characters and plots to put life under a microscope for audiences, Pinter hands them a kaleidoscope and says, “Have at it.” He crafts multifaceted plays that speak to the depth of his reality and teases and threatens his audience with dangerous truths. In No Man’s Land, Pinter has Hirst attack Spooner, who may or may not be his old friend: “This is outrageous! Who are you? What are you doing in my house?”1 Hirst then launches into a monologue beginning: “I might even show you my photograph album. You might even see a face in it which might remind you of your own, of what you once were.”2 Pinter never fully resolves Spooner’s identity, but the mens’ actions towards each other are perfectly clear: with exacting language and wit, Pinter has constructed a magnificent struggle between the two for power and identity. In 1958, early in his career, Pinter wrote The Hothouse, an incredibly funny play based on a traumatic personal experience as a lab rat at London’s Maudsley Hospital, proudly founded as a modern psychiatric institution, rather than an asylum. The story of The Hothouse, set in a mental hospital of some sort, is centered around the death of one patient, “6457,” and the unexplained pregnancy of another, “6459.” Details around both incidents are very murky, but varying amounts of culpability for both seem to fall on the institution’s leader, Roote, and his second-in- command, Gibbs.

  • Politics, Oppression and Violence in Harold Pinter's Plays
    Politics, Oppression and Violence in Harold Pinter’s Plays through the Lens of Arabic Plays from Egypt and Syria Hekmat Shammout A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS BY RESEARCH Department of Drama and Theatre Arts College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham May 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract This thesis aims to examine how far the political plays of Harold Pinter reflect the Arabic political situation, particularly in Syria and Egypt, by comparing them to several plays that have been written in these two countries after 1967. During the research, the comparative study examined the similarities and differences on a theoretical basis, and how each playwright dramatised the topic of political violence and aggression against oppressed individuals. It also focussed on what dramatic techniques have been used in the plays. The thesis also tries to shed light on how Arab theatre practitioners managed to adapt Pinter’s plays to overcome the cultural-specific elements and the foreignness of the text to bring the play closer to the understanding of the targeted audience.

  • The Dramatic World Harol I Pinter
    THE DRAMATIC WORLD HAROL I PINTER RITUAL Katherine H. Bnrkman $8.00 THE DRAMATIC WORLD OF HAROLD PINTER By Katherine H. Burkman The drama of Harold Pinter evolves in an atmosphere of mystery in which the surfaces of life are realistically detailed but the pat­ terns that underlie them remain obscure. De­ spite the vivid naturalism of his dialogue, his characters often behave more like figures in a dream than like persons with whom one can easily identify. Pinter has on one occasion admitted that, if pressed, he would define his art as realistic but would not describe what he does as realism. Here he points to what his audience has often sensed is distinctive in his style: its mixture of the real and sur­ real, its exact portrayal of life on the surface, and its powerful evocation of that life that lies beneath the surface. Mrs. Burkman rejects the contention of some Pinter critics that the playwright seeks to mystify and puzzle his audience. To the contrary, she argues, he is exploring experi­ ence at levels that are mysterious, and is a poetic rather than a problem-solving play­ wright. The poetic images of the play, more­ over, Mrs. Burkman contends, are based in ritual; and just as the ancient Greeks at­ tempted to understand the mysteries of life by drawing upon the most primitive of reli­ gious rites, so Pinter employs ritual in his drama for his own tragicomic purposes. Mrs. Burkman explores two distinct kinds of ritual that Pinter develops in counter­ point. His plays abound in those daily habit­ ual activities that have become formalized as ritual and have tended to become empty of meaning, but these automatic activities are set in contrast with sacrificial rites that are loaded with meaning, and force the charac­ ters to a painful awareness of life from which their daily routines have served to protect them.

The style of Harold Pinter, the laureate British playwright, adds an additional difficulty due to his particular use of language.

These horrors are dramatized through images of torture and oppression culminating in moments of silence that index the full extent of the destruction unleashed by the forces of power against dissidence. Another interpretation is that the play is a political drama showing how the individual is destroyed by a higher power.

  • The Dramatic World of Harold Pinter: Its Basis in Ritual
    The Dramatic World of Harold Pinter: Its Basis in Ritual The Battle for Possession: Defense of the Tree Like most birds, the robin sings only within his borders, where he pours out his defense and defiance.1 "The Examination," a short story by Pinter published in 1959, describes a cyclic change of power not unlike the action of Pinter's dramas. The narrator, who begins as the examiner, ends as the examined; and it is hinted that the exchange of power is continuous. The narrator was pre­ viously the examined, and Kullus was the examiner; the narrator then took over as examiner, and at the end of the story the wheel has turned once more. The power struggle in the story remains mysterious and abstract; the object of the examination and the content of it are never specified. The narrator dwells, rather, on his examination technique, one that involves particular ar­ rangements of the room and intervals given him by Kullus. These intervals are periods of silence that differ from 66 Kullus's other silences which form a part of the examina­ tion. "And so," the narrator explains, "the nature of our silence within the frame of our examination, and the na­ ture of our silence outside the frame of our examination, were entirely opposed."2 While the nature of the examination is mysterious, the battle for dominance is defined by the silences; the narra­ tor loses his dominance when he cannot follow Kullus's journey with understanding "from silence to silence" (p. 90). One is reminded of the defeat of Edward by the silent matchseller of A Slight Ache and of the fullness of silence in the frequent pauses of Pinter's dramatic world.

  • A Study Op Dramatic Structure in Harold Pinter's Stage Plays
    A STUDY OP DRAMATIC STRUCTURE IN HAROLD PINTER'S STAGE PLAYS by CHRISTINE PATRICIA PARKIN born CHRISTINE PATRICIA GEORGE B.A. , University of Bristol, 1955 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of English We accept this thesis as conforming to the reauired standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April, 1972 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of A The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date ABSTRACT Pinter has said that his main concern when writing a play is with structure, yet published criticism has so far paid little attention to this aspect of his craft. This study, therefore, examines the structures of Pinter's stage plays. The method followed is a chronological structural analysis moving from The Room through The Birthday Party, The Dumb Waiter, The Caretaker, The Homecoming, Landscape and Silence to his latest play, Old Times, first produced in London on June 1, 1971- The opening chapter discusses the terms which form a background to the subsequent description of the dramatic structures. The analyses demonstrate that there are at least three major features of his craftsmanship to emerge at this point in his career.

FROM MENACE TO TORTURE: THE DEVELOPMENT OF HAROLD PINTER'S POLITICAL DRAMA A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English at Massey University Betty s. Livingston 1993 ii ABSTRACT There is a degree of continuity between Pinter's "comedies of menace" and his overtly political plays. The chief difference between the two types of plays is one of focus: in the "comedies of menace" Pinter emphasises social pressures exerted on the nonconforming indi victual, whereas in the overtly political plays he focusses explicitly on State oppression of the dissident. Pinter's passionate concern with politics has adversely affected his art, though there are signs of a return to form in his latest play, Party Time. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I am extremely grateful to Professor Dick Corballis for his generous and invaluable guidance and assistance.
