This volume contains Harold Pinter's first six plays, including The
Birthday Party. The Birthday Party Stanley Webber is visited in his
boarding house by two strangers, Goldberg and McCann. An
innocent-seeming birthday party for Stanley turns into a nightmare.
'Mr Pinter's terrifying blend of pathos and hatred fuses
unforgettably into the stuff of art.' Sunday Times The Room and The
Dumb Waiter In these two early one-act plays, Harold Pinter reveals
himself as already in full control of his unique ability to make
dramatic poetry of the banalities of everyday speech and the
precision with which it defines character. 'Harold Pinter is the
most original writer to have emerged from the new wave of
dramatists who gave fresh life to the British theatre in the
fifties and early sixties.' The Times The Hothouse The Hothouse was
first produced in 1980, though Harold Pinter wrote the play in
1958, just before commencing work on The Caretaker. In this
compelling study of bureaucratic power, we can see the full
emergence of a great and original dramatic talent. 'The Hothouse is
at once sinister and hilarious, suggesting an unholy alliance of
Kafka and Feydeau.' Spectator
