The Hothouse

2019

A decade on with the original cast from the 2008 production, Ford Transit re-presents Harold Pinter's dark black comedy. Set in a state-run sanatorium in 1950s England where the so-called "patients" could actually be political dissidents undergoing various excruciating corrective treatments or family members committed by family. As for the staff, question marks abound as to just how in control they are - of anything. With almost everything not quite right, it's the optimal mix of sinister and absurdly funny.
