"THE HOMECOMING"...PINTER's Classic comes home to CTC


Harold Pinter wrote this play in 1964...in 6 weeks...and as Director Marian Newman, at this week's CTC production says: "The characters are ODIOUS ....(YES!) ......but they make you laugh ...their relationships are dysfunctional...( You could say that!)....and although the situation IS bizarre, it's also ( weirdly!) believable.....
AND there's lots of room for you to make your own decisions about this play......what the subtext is...what is really happening....
Hugely enjoyed it. Great cast, amazing touches..... sprinkled liberally. 
And Marian's delight in Pinter's work is clearly evident! 

In 1975, Peter Hall directed "The Homecoming" , starring Ian Holm, Cyril Cusack and Vivien Merchant. 


Richard Steventon (Sam) and Ray Bengree ( Max)..... thoroughly out of their dysfunctional characters...relaxing in the Bar after the Show....
