No Mans Land

No Mans Land at Duke of Yorks Theatre

Why see No Mans Land?

A TANTALIZING AND BOLD JOURNEY INTO A SPECTACULAR SPECTRAL LIMBO

No Man's Land is the tragi-comic masterpiece by Harold Pinter, Nobel Prize laureate and one of the greatest living playwrights. An indisputable modern classic, No Man's Land is about two ageing writers:

Hirst, a literary success but an alcoholic, and Spooner, a failed writer. The two return to Hirst's grand home for a drink after meeting on Hampstead Heath. Overseen by Hirst's henchmen, Briggs and Foster, Hirst and Spooner begin a night rife with alcohol, linguistic banter, wile and wit, and power games which escalate dramatically.

Part mystery drama, part homage to the fiction of memory, the much-anticipated revival of No Man's Land is directed by the highly accomplished winner of Olivier and Tony Awards, Rupert Goold (The Tempest, Macbeth, King Lear, Oliver!). Typical of Pinter's work, this haunting play employs dynamic characters to drive an amusing situation and Goold's production features stellar performances by Michael Gambon as 'Hirst', David Bradley as 'Spooner', David Walliams (of Little Britain fame) as 'Foster' and Nick Dunning as 'Briggs'.
