Tras la segunda guerra mundial, cuatro amigos ven cómo su amistad se resquebraja cuando uno de ellos se acuesta con la novia de otro. Amistad, amor y traición son los pilares de una obra que estudia vidas ordinarias moldeadas por las limitaciones y fronteras de la sexualidad, la intimidas y la moralidad con humor y desgarro.
Im Mittelpunkt von Pinters einzigem Roman, begonnen in den fünfziger Jahren und nun vollendet, stehen vier junge Leute: Pete, Geschäftsmann und Menschenfeind; Len, Musiker und Phantast; Mark, Schauspieler und Frauenhelf, und die Lehrerin Virginia, die erst Pete und dann mark liebt. In langen Gesprächen versuchen sie einander näherzukommen und werden sich doch zusehends fremder - einsam Figuren in einer absurden Welt, die sie durchschauen, aber nicht ändern können.

Betrayal is Pinter's latest full-length play since the enormous success of No Man's Land. The play begins in 1977, with a meeting between adulterous lovers, Emma and Jerry, two years after their affair has ended. During the nine scenes of the play, we move back in time, through the states of their affair, with the play ending in the house of Emma and Robert, her husband, who is Jerry's best friend.
Harold Pinterís new play, No Mans Land, is about precisely what its title suggests: the sense of being caught in some mysterious limbo between life and death, between a world of brute reality and one of fluid uncertainty. But although plenty of plays, from Sweeny Agonistes to Outward Bound, have tried to pin down that strange sense of reaching into a void, I can think of few that have done so as concretely, funnily and concisely as Pinterís.All Pinterís plays are to some extent about the invasion of territory; and this is no exception. The setting is a curved, opulent room on a summer night in Hampstead. Hirst, a rich, famous belle-lettrist, has invited into his room a shabby, beer-stained poet Spooner, whom he has apparently picked up in Jack Strawís Castle.
Estas dúas pezas de Harol Pinter constitúen unha singular aproximación ó estudio da conducta humana e unha denuncia permanente das diferentes maneiras en que o totalitarismo invade e se instala na vi
Harold Pinter Introduction, notes and activities by James Butler and Lucia De Vanna A dingy and junk-cluttered room in London is the setting for this classic play. The inhabitant of the room is Aston. Aston is supposed to be putting the property in order for his brother Mick, who has ambitious plans for restoring and decorating the house. The relationship between the two brothers seems threatened by the arrival of Davies, an old man whom Aston has saved from a fight outside a café. The play is fraught with tension and menace as the characters form alliances, betray each other, and in the process reveal themselves to the audience. Theatre of the Absurd, allegory, or psychological drama? Critics have argued about how this play should be classified, while agreeing that it is a masterpiece of the period. Sales restricted to certain countries.
Harold Pinter's play is set at a party in an elegant flat. Below, in the streets, there is a military presence, but most of the partygoers appear to be unconcerned by this. Pinter's other plays include 'The Birthday Party', 'The Caretaker', 'The Homecoming' and 'Mountain Language'.
