It also contains the speech given by Pinter in 1970 on being awarded the German Shakespeare Prize. The Homecoming ´Of all Harold Pinter´s major plays, The Homecoming has the most powerful narrative line... You are fascinated, lured on, sucked into the vortex.´ Sunday Telegraph ´The most intense expression of compressed violence to be found anywhere in Pinter´s plays.´ The Times Old Times ´A rare quality of high tension is evident, revealing in Old Times a beautifully controlled and expressive formality that has seldom been achieved since the plays of Racine.´ Financial Times ´Harold Pinter´s poetic, Proustian Old Times has the inscrutability of a mysterious picture, and the tension of a good thriller.´ Independent No Man´s Land ´The work of our best living playwright in its command of the language and its power to erect a coherent structure in a twilight zone of confusion and dismay.´ The Times
