other title: 生日舞会 / 생일 파티 …
Based on Harold Pinter's enigmatic play about a border in a British seaside dwelling who is visited by two strangers. They torment him verbally, ask him idiotic unanswerable questions, force him to sit down and stand up, and give him a "party." Then, eventually, they take him away, a tongue-tied idiot. The trivial becomes the terrible, and with it a certain wonder, a certain pity.

Otto Beck, a perpetual graduate student from Bavaria with a habit of making pompous declamations, rents the back lodge to work on his esoteric thesis.

other title: 无人之境 / 无人之地
这是一部充斥着荒诞幽默并且酒精味儿十足的话剧作品：一个夏夜，两个老作家，赫斯特和斯普纳在汉普斯特德的一个酒吧里相遇，意犹未尽的他们又跑到附近赫斯特的家里继续边喝边聊。当这一对儿老伙计越喝越醉，他们的故事也变得越来越不可信，生动的谈话很快变成了一个揭示权力的游戏，事情随着两个年轻人的返家变得更加复杂……
作为诺贝尔文学奖得主、当代荒诞派剧作家哈罗德·品特的心爱之作，《无人之境》于1975年在伦敦老维克剧院首演，后来亦曾邀请到作家本人首次登台饰演自己作品中的主人公。
此次《无人之境》复排由西恩·马提亚斯（Sean Mathias）担任导演，自在西区上演以来，两位年龄加起来超过150岁的英伦老戏骨便博得满堂彩。“揭露了日常闲谈掩盖下的危局，直闯压抑的密室”，诺奖授辞这样形容品特式语焉不详中的真谛，《每日电讯报》和《旗帜晚报》则对这版《无人之境》给出了五星好评，称四人之间“紧张与冲突暗流涌动”、“不可错过”，而Time Out称这是伊恩·麦克莱恩和帕特里克·斯图尔特两位最伟大的演员和最伟大的戏剧的相遇，“演活了他们的传奇”。
