The Homecoming September 30, 2008

Considered one of Harold Pinter's greatest plays, 'The Homecoming' is undoubtedly his most sexually provocative work. Set in North London, the play concerns the ultimate dysfunctional family, presided over by its patriarch Max. Living under his dilapidated roof are his younger brother Sam, and two of his sons: Lenny, the town pimp, and Joey, a boxer-in-training. Tensions begin to flair with the arrival of Max's eldest son Teddy, who returns home after six years with his new wife Ruth. Seduction, betrayal and divisiveness ensue, as the family welcomes the homecoming of its estranged brother and vies for the attention of his dangerously alluring wife.
