Produced by the Subterranean Theatre Company in October 1995 at Hyde Park Theatre, Austin, Texas.

Directed by Ken Webster.

About the play After six years teaching philosophy at an American university, Teddy brings his wife to England to meet his grotesquely dysfunctional family. Unfortunately, she appears to fit right in. Written in 1965, The Homecoming remains as cutting-edge and disturbingly hilarious as it was 30 years ago.

What the critics said . . "Intriguing . . . handles Pinter's menacing qualities and nasty humor with finesse. . . . this engaging version of The Homecoming warrants a visit." Austin American Statesman

"Thirty years on, this 'comedy of menace' still has the power to shock and amuse, especially in the capable hands of Subterranean Theatre Company. Make no mistake: for this Homecoming, the Welcome mat is definitely out." The Texas Triangle Click here for the entire Texas Triangle review.
