A fable about a fierce little country - Lapland in the post-war years - told in a secluded outdoor corner of our city. Ordinary nature by day, brought to howling life by night. A stranger, part hero, part howler, is a man, a myth, and a metaphor.

Pinter's No Man's Land
The play centers on Hirst, a wealthy recluse haunted by dreams and memories, and Spooner, a down-at-the-heels poet. Do the men really know each other, or are they performing an elaborate charade? The ambiguity – and the comedy – intensify with the arrival of Hirst’s manservants Briggs and Foster, who may be lovers. All four inhabit a no man’s-land between time present and time remembered, between reality and imagination. Andrew S. Paul directs.
