{"product_id":"the-hothouse-harold-pinter-9780802136435","title":"The Hothouse","description":"A black comedy set in a government-run mental institution, The Hothouse revolves around a sinister murder plot hatched against a backdrop of corruption, sexual favors, and hopeless bureaucratic ineptitude. Beneath the surface comedy there are frightening implications concerning a bureaucracy ostensibly dedicated to humanitarian concerns, but where people are referred to by numbers and forgotten as easily as troublesome figures on a balance sheet. Written in 1958, The Hothouse was first performed at London's Hampstead Theatre in April 1980, in a production directed by Pinter himself. A blistering funny play. . . . Hothouse is wild, impudent, fiercely funny.-Jack Kroll, Newsweek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harold Pinter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802136435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802136435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.31h x 5.52w x 0.45d","brand":"Harold Pinter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926151037183,"sku":"9780802136435","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6a6a84ec-e17f-4712-855c-1792b5904b4f.jpg?v=1681081486","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-hothouse-harold-pinter-9780802136435","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
