Bonjour,
Coming soon is Harold Pinter’s “The Homecoming.” This dark, intriguing drama is also wickedly funny: a very bad family with some very bad men and an older brother who might have made the wrong decision to bring his new bride home to meet them—or is that what he was up to from the start? There will be a preview with free champagne, Friday, May 9th at 8:00pm and, on Opening Night, Saturday, May 10th, an informal buffet following the show at 8:00pm. Make your reservations now to be with us:
The Homecoming by Harold Pinter
May 9 – June 15, 2025
Fridays, Saturdays 8:00pm; Sundays 4:00pm
One of Nobel-prize winning playwright Harold Pinter’s greatest plays, this darkly comic, hauntingly ambiguous, play follows a family of men in a seedy house in North London: Max, the aging, crude patriarch, his ineffectual brother Sam, and two of Max’s three sons, both unmarried, Lenny, a small-time pimp and Joey, who dreams of success as a boxer. Returning to this oppressive household, one simmering with bottled-up anger and barely concealed hatreds, is the oldest son Teddy, now a successful professor of philosophy in America. After six years abroad, he brings his wife Ruth, to meet the family for the first time but the visit quickly turns into an ominous game of cat and mouse. In this unsettling drama of insidious manipulation, subtle power struggles, and sexual game-playing, nothing is quite what it seems.
A New Pledge of $20,000!
As we told you last week, a very special patron (who wishes to remain anonymous) has made an incredibly generous pledge of $20,000 to support the work at City Garage! Can you help us match this amount by the end of the summer so that we can fully benefit from our angel’s wonderful pledge? Thanks to these kind people below, we’ve already raised $3,175!
