STUART THOMPSON AND PLAYFUL PRODUCTIONS PRESENT
NO MAN’S
LANDHAROLD
BYPINTER
Harold Pinter’s No Man’s Land opened on April 23, 1975 at the Old Vic Theatre, London. It
was an immensely popular success and transferred to the West End to Wyndham’s Theatre –
the same theatre from which this production is broadcast. By 1975, Pinter had already
written some of his best-known work, including The Birthday Party, The Caretaker and The
Homecoming.
Michael Billington records that when No Man’s Land opened, critics responded with much
admiration and respect – and also with some bewilderment. They debated the true meaning
of Pinter’s play – or, indeed, whether it needed one single ‘meaning’ at all.
The play begins one summer’s evening. Two aging writers, Hirst and Spooner, have met in
a Hampstead pub and continue their drinking into the night at Hirst’s stately home nearby.
Running time: 2 hours 30 minutes, including a 20-minute intermission and a 20-minute
post-show Q&A with the cast and director Sean Mathias
