Description: 'The Dwarfs' is concerned with three young men, Len, Pete and Mark, and the scene of action shifts back and forth between Len's house and Mark's. Sometimes all three come together, sometimes only two, and often Len is on stage alone. There are conversations and soliloquies filled with the brilliant convolutions of thought, the sudden flashes of truth which distinguish Pinter's unique style, with the mood ranging from calm introspection to explosive outpouring. 'The Dwarfs' was first performed on the BBC Third Programme in December, 1960. It was first presented in a new version for the stage at the New Arts Theatre, London, in September, 1963.
