This book contains two plays by Harold Pinter: 'The Room' and 'The Dumb Waiter'. Both plays, first performed in 1960, explore recurring themes in Pinter's work, such as miscommunication and the latent threat in everyday life. The author demonstrates his ability to create dramatic poetry from the banalities of everyday language, precisely defining the characters and their complex relationships.
