"The foremost representative of British drama in the second half of the twentieth century"

Set in an all male household in North London, Pinter’s play explores the reaction of the family to the homecoming of the eldest son and his wife.

The Homecoming received its world premiere at the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1965 directed by Peter Hall. It has subsequently been produced on stage world wide in many languages. In 1965 Hall directed a film version and in March 2007 Thea Sharrock directed it for Radio 3 with Harold Pinter as Max.
