"I'll create the listings displayed directly here for you: 1965 Harold Pinter The Homecoming First Edition Methuen Hardcover DJ ISBN: Not stated (pre-ISBN era) PUBLISHER: Methuen & Co. Ltd, London AUTHOR: Harold Pinter COUNTRY: United Kingdom (England) BINDING: Hardcover with original dust jacket LANGUAGE: English SUBJECT: Literature & Fiction YEAR: 1965 Description Two-act contemporary drama featuring Pinter's trademark economical dialogue and examination of family dysfunction, power dynamics, and unspoken tension. When American philosophy professor Teddy returns to his working-class North London family home for the first time in years, accompanied by his wife Ruth, the encounter spirals into a darkly comic exploration of desire, moral ambiguity, and familial aggression. First presented by the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Aldwych Theatre on 3 June 1965, directed by Peter Hall. This landmark play would go on to win the 1967 Tony Award for Best Play on Broadway and remains central to understanding post-war British theatre. Details ISBN: Not stated PUBLISHER: Methuen & Co.
