Landscape - Harold Pinter

Landscape By Harold Pinter (Landscape was first presented on radio by the BBC On 25th April, 1968, with Peggy Ashcroft as BETH and Eric Porter as DUFF) There are two characters in this play, a middle-aged married couple, and yet you will not find a single dialogue between them. It is by no way a comic play, but the manner in which each of the two characters is talking about a completely different thing becomes a little funny as you read/watch more of the play. The stage directions read: "DUFF refers normally to BETH, but does not appear to hear her voice. BETH never looks at DUFF, and does not appear to hear his voice. Both characters are relaxed, in no sense ...

Landscape - Harold Pinter

Currently, I am in the process stages of creating a twenty minutes performance, based on the Harold Pinter play called "Landscape". I had previously read his other plays, which are called "The dumb waiter" and "The birthday party", both extremely influential and interesting plays.

Landscape centres around two characters named "Beth" and "Duff" with their relationship being left open to the audience s interpretation. From my own perspective, I believe that the pair are a married couple who are in their 60 s and are in a static ...

Monologue - Harold Pinter

This is one of Pinter s lesser known, and less performed, plays, yet it has some of the magnificent elements which his acclaimed plays have. What I love about Pinter, for example, is the deep inner struggle that his characters have; everything seems to be fine on the surface and no battles of any kind are taking place, yet the characters are torn, angry, and unforgiving. In this play, also, you find Pinter s famous pauses frequently, as there s nobody to reply to what the speaker says, so the replies are almost replaced with pauses. Finally, it is a short play that you might have to read again in order to understand what is going on, for it seams to give clues rather ...
