Playwright Harold Pinter Wins Nobel Prize for Literature
Pinter, known for his spare prose style and haunting, elliptical plays was awarded the $1.3 million Nobel literature prize in October. In its citation, the Swedish Academy said that Mr. Pinter "uncovers the precipice under everyday prattle and forces entry into oppression's closed rooms."

In his acceptance speach, Mr. Pinter began by explaining the almost unconscious process he uses to write his plays. They start with an image, a word, a phrase, he said; the characters soon become "people with will and an individual sensibility of their own, made out of component parts you are unable to change, manipulate or distort."

"So language in art remains a highly ambiguous transaction," he continued, "a quicksand, a trampoline, a frozen pool which might give way under you, the author, at any time."

CTG is pleased to bring the award-winning author's work to audiences in Northwest Indiana this winter.

The Story: In a small house at a coastal resort live a man, his mentally wayward wife and their boarder who has been with them for a year. He is a strange chap, unkempt and in flight from we know not what. Enter an even stranger sleek Jewish man and his muscle bound Irish henchman. The mentally immature wife accommodates them with a room and then decides that it is time for the boarder to have a birthday. At the party she arranges, the new guests play cruel games with the boarder--break his glasses, make a buffoon of him, and push him over the psychotic precipice. The next morning he is reduced to a gibbering idiot and meekly leaves with them.

"Fascinating capacity to be menacing, ominous and evocative of some dark and threatening doom." -N.Y. Post.

"The most interesting play to be seen on Broadway." -N.Y. Times.
