{"product_id":"9780802137081","title":"A Celebration and The Room: Two Plays","description":"\u003cp\u003eJack 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grove Atlantic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47007588385008,"sku":"9780802137081","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780802137081_p0.jpg?v=1763665832","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780802137081","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
