Talk:No Man's Land (play)

message: No Man's Land is the name of a 1974 play by the English dramatist Harold Pinter.
The play is a four-hander. Hirst, a successful but isolated and alcoholic writer, looked after and guarded by Foster and Briggs, has met Spooner, a failed writer (if a writer at all) who seeks to inveigle himself into Hirst's household. The manoeuvrings of the four characters - Foster and Briggs seeking to fend off Spooner, and Hirst and Spooner's verbal jousting - are among the richest in all Pinter's plays. The play is extremely funny, but has deeply serious and sad undertones - loneliness, the nature of real art, and the route fate chooses for everyone's lives.
It was produced in 1975 by Peter Hall and shown first at the Old Vic (then home to the Royal National Theatre) and  starred John Gielgud as the seedy, calculating Spooner and Ralph Richardson as the burnt-out Hirst. This production was given on Broadway in 1976 and filmed for television in the same year.
The next major revival, in 1992, was at the Almeida Theatre (later transferring to the West End) starring Paul Eddington as Spooner and Pinter himself as Hirst.
In 2001, again at the National Theatre, Spooner was played by John Wood and Hirst by Corin Redgrave. This production was directed by Pinter.
This is POV if I've ever seen it. Sounds more like a review. -Jetman123 10:13, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I've reorganized this article and added some source citations, Notes and References and External links sections; much of the material in the previous version(s) came from unacknowledged sources; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the necessity to avoid plagiarism in Wikipedia.  I'm not developing this article further because I don't have time to do so.  I've marked it as a stub; it needs much more development.  There are some editorial interpolations accessible in the "show preview" mode.  Pinter's official website has separate subsections on productions of the play.  Many other sources are accessible through the cross-referenced bibliography and external links sections of the main article(s).  --NYScholar (talk) 01:16, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I saw Pinter star in this in the Fall of 1992.  I don't think the date is correct in the original article (stating Feb 1993).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.132.1.69 (talk) 06:10, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
