A Play by Harold Pinter
Max. Sam. Lenny. Joey. Teddy. And Ruth.
In a crowded house in East London lives a family of butchers, fighters, and men bound by routine and rivalry. When Teddy returns from America with his wife Ruth — a woman his family has never met — old tensions surface and an unsettling battle for control begins. As loyalties shift and desires emerge, the household is thrown into a dangerous and unpredictable power game.
