{"product_id":"celebration-and-the-room-harold-pinter-9780802137081","title":"Celebration and the Room: Two Plays","description":"Jack Kroll in Newsweek has called Harold Pinter \"the most fascinating, enigmatic and accomplished dramatist in the English language.\" Since his first full-length play, The Birthday Party (1958), and continuing with The Homecoming (1965), Pinter has trained a sharp eye on the strange dynamics of modern family life. In his newest play, Celebration, he continues to examine the darker places of relationships. Celebration is an acerbic portrait of a sated culture choking on its own material success. Startling, full of black humor and wicked satire, Celebration displays a vivid zest for life. Also included in this volume is Pinter's classic play The Room. Both plays are invested with the elements that make Pinter's work unique: the disturbingly familiar dialogue, subtle characterization, and abrupt mood and power shifts among characters, which can be by turns terrifying, moving, and wildly funny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harold Pinter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802137083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802137081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/12\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.26h x 5.50w x 0.43d","brand":"Harold Pinter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372315693311,"sku":"9780802137081","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e2005d39-5c90-4e17-bb96-b7bcfcf31cb6.jpg?v=1732725610","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/celebration-and-the-room-harold-pinter-9780802137081","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
