A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE PLAY
“The Homecoming” is a two-act play written in 1964 and published in 1965 by Harold Pinter.
It premiered in London in 1965 (Aldwych Theatre, Director: Sir Peter Hall)
 
Set in North London, the play has six characters. Five of these are men of the same family: Max, a retired butcher; his brother Sam, a chauffeur; and Max’s three sons: Teddy, a philosophy professor in the United States; Lenny, a pimp who only makes discreet references to his “occupation” and his clientele and flats in the city (London); and Joey, a brute training to become a professional boxer and who works in demolition. The sixth character is a woman, Ruth, Teddy’s wife. The play concerns Teddy’s and Ruth’s “homecoming”, which has distinctly different symbolic and thematic implications.
