«One for the Road» is Harold Pinter's play, published by Methuen Publishing Ltd in paperback (64 pages, in English).
In an unnamed totalitarian state, an interrogator torments a prisoner, his wife and his son in a series of conversations that reveal the mechanics of power and powerlessness. With black humour and contained violence, the play premiered at the Lyric Theatre Studio in Hammersmith in March 1984.
The play was originally published in 1984; this revised Methuen edition is from 1985 and includes production photos by Ivan Kyncl and a conversation between Harold Pinter and Nicholas Hern about the play and its politics.
A play for readers of political theatre and twentieth-century British drama, as well as for students of literature and performing arts.
