Hothouse

"A blistering funny play . . . Hothouse is wild, impudent, fiercely funny." Jack Kroll, Newsweek

"The Hothouse is Pinter's funniest play."-Ed Kalem, Time

"The playwright has an unfailing ear for institutionalized doublespeak, and The Hothouse is full of rapid-fire bits that sound like old vaudeville routines as they might have been rewritten by Ionesco." Frank Rich, The New York Times

"Characteristically cryptic and very funny, just what Kafka might have come up with."- Carolyn Clay, The Boston Phoenix

"The Hothouse fuses tragedy and farce, terror and nonsense in a unique mix that is sometimes chilling, sometimes bewildering, yet always, at every moment, fiercely alive and vital." Elliot Norton, Boston Herald American
