WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Ian McShane, Raul Esparza, and Michael McKean star in the Broadway revival of Harold Pinter's The Homecoming, directed by Daniel Sullivan.
Considered one of Pinter's greatest plays, The Homecoming is undoubtedly his most sexually provocative work. Set in North London, the play concerns the ultimate dysfunctional family, presided over by its patriarch Max (McShane). Living under his dilapidated roof are his younger brother Sam (McKean), and two of his sons: Lenny (Esparza), the town pimp, and Joey, a boxer-in-training. Tensions begin to flair with the arrival of Max's eldest son Teddy, who returns home after six years with his new wife Ruth. Seduction, betrayal, and divisiveness ensue, as the family welcomes the homecoming of its estranged brother and vies for the attention of his dangerously alluring wife.

As the English actor-manager Donald Wolfit was on his deathbed, the last words he supposedly gasped were: "Dying is easy, comedy is hard." But perhaps Wolfit -- for whom Harold Pinter appeared in eight productions -- meant to say was: "Dying is easy, Pinter is hard." It's an indisputable theater truth that director Daniel Sullivan has probably learned while preparing his picturesque if not properly Pinteresque revival of The Homecoming, the 1967 Tony-winning play that has settled uneasily into the Cort.
In The Homecoming, smug philosophy professor Teddy (James Frain) brings his dissatisfied wife, Ruth (Eve Best), home to meet the folks -- nine years after their marriage and their emig[...]
