The Homecoming
Harold Pinter · 1965
A philosophy professor brings his wife home to meet his family in North London, and by the end she's staying with them while he goes back alone. Pinter never explains anything. The silences carry as much menace as the dialogue, and the dialogue is terrifying. It's a play about territorial power disguised as a family reunion.
