DESCRIPTION

Written in the early eighties by Harold Pinter, Other Places marks a time in Pinter’s work where he assertively explores the struggle of defining ourselves, our lives, and our relationships, especially through the penumbra of truth. After writing these plays, Pinter himself did not write again for a number of years.

Other Places is a body of work consisting of three short plays: Victoria Station, Family Voices, and A Kind of Alaska. All three plays probe a landscape familiar to Pinter: How memory and story arrange and disarrange our lives, how truth and reality are at best fragile, how identity becomes territory to be fought for in the moment, and how language can still knock language sideways. In each play the characters are dispossessed, and distanced from one another, from the world, and from themselves.

As is more often the case with Pinter, the actions of the plays are simple. What makes them so magnificent and thrilling are all the aspects under each character’s surface which compel them, often without explanation, to do the things they do. Pinter’s amazing use of language, his masterfully detailed sense of story, and his trenchant understanding of human nature, make these three short plays some of his strongest and most fascinating work.
