| THE HOMECOMING, by Nobel laureate Harold Pinter, concerns the return of Teddy, a professor of philosophy at an American college, to the North London house occupied by his father, uncle, brothers, all of whom operate on the fringes of working-class society, some distance from respectability. Teddy is accompanied by his wife Ruth who then finds herself at the center of a series of "Pinteresque" power-struggles. Reminiscent of the raw claustrophobic work of THE SOPRANO'S, language at its most visceral conveys what is unspoken. Off Broadway West Theatre Company was nominated for six San Francisco Bay Area Theatre Critic Circle awards for this second season; their first season earned seven nominations and one win. NOTE: No one under 18 years old will be admitted. |
