The Hothouse

by Harold Pinter

The day got off to a lousy start! A death and a birth. Absolutely bloody scandalous! Is it too much to ask – to keep the place clean?

At once chilling and deliriously funny, Harold Pinter's The Hothouse was written in 1958 just before The Caretaker.

You've insulted me, you've insulted the cook, and you've insulted Jesus Christ.

Harold Pinter, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2005, is generally regarded as the world's greatest living dramatist.
