Opis

All you have do is shut up and enjoy the hospitality. Terry Harold Pinter s Party Time (1991) is an extraordinary distillation of the playwright s key concerns. Pulsing with political anger, it marks a stepping stone on Pinter s path from iconic dramatist of existential unease to Nobel Prize-winning poet of human rights. G. D. White situates this underrated play within a recognisably Pinteresque landscape of ambiguous, brittle social drama while also recognising its particularity: Party Time is haunted by Augusto Pinochet s right-wing coup against Salvador Allende s democratically elected government in Chile. This book considers the play and its confederate works in the dual context of Pinter s literary career and burgeoning international concern with human rights and freedom of expression. White contrasts Pinter s uneasy relationship with the UK s powerful elite with the worldwide acclaim garnered by his dramatic eviscerations of power."
