At a sprawling Hampstead home, Spooner regales his host, Hirst, with his achievements as poet and man of perception, as they both slowly slip into a boozy competition. Yet how much of what Spooner says is true? Or, for that matter, Hirst? No Man’s Land is Pinter at his most absurd, black and funny.
Lurid, strange comedy and a mad existential bathos. Harold Pinter was a master of combining a sense of interpersonal threat with questions of what on earth a person’s place is, or how you’re even supposed to figure the damn thing out. Starring Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen this promises to be one of the best productions in the West End this winter.
