Globe pick: David Wheeler returns to the American Repertory Theatre to direct Harold Pinter's drama of two writers caught in the No Man's Land of late middle age.
-- Louise Kennedy, Globe staff
More information:
Spooner and Hirst are two aging writers, locked in the no man's land of late middle age. They meet on Hampstead Heath and return to Hirst's home for a late-night session of witty banter, sinister power games, and the worship of alcohol. Harold Pinter's elegant, haunting play is part mystery drama, part homage to the ghosts of the past and the fiction of memory. David Wheeler returns to the A.R.T. to direct this tragicomic gem from Britain's Nobel Prize-winning playwright.
Write a Review
The landscape of "No Man's Land" is at once deceptively familiar and profoundly strange. It is a handsomely furnished room in London, stocked with crystal decanters and leather-bound volumes; it is the looming emptiness that bookends men's lives. It is, in short, the dark, disorienting, icily amusing, and piercingly illuminated space inside Harold Pinter's head. (Full review)
