Auriga Productions presents Harold Pinter’s riveting
The Homecoming
August 4-26, 2023
Family history, lies and betrayal set the stage for Nobel Prize winner Harold Pinter’s The Homecoming—presented by Dallas theatre company, Auriga Productions. Directed by Bert Pigg, and featuring a powerful cast, including last year’s King Lear, Malcolm Stephenson, the production will run this summer for eight performances at the lake level performing spaces of the Bath House Cultural Center.
The Homecoming is a comedy of menace, concerning a family of four men living all together, but who are all alone. When the eldest son returns home after six years with a wife whom no one else has met, the family must come to grips with the hidden truths that have infected their relationships for decades. The Brady Bunch it ain’t.
Set in an unassuming North London living room, the play explores an enigmatic and dysfunctional family. Secrets are unveiled, alliances are tested, and a battle of wits ultimately reveals the true nature of each character’s shadowy motivations.
Under the direction of Bert Pigg, this production preserves the play’s raw intensity while infusing it with contemporary relevance. The cast brings complex characters to life with emotion, dark humor and nuance creating a tumultuous experience and examining insights that will linger long after the final blackout.
With this revival of The Homecoming Auriga continues their commitment to excellence, bringing audiences a riveting production that honors the original while adding a layer of contemporary interpretation.
