The outcome of “On the Edge” workshop conducted by the independently-run Damascus Theater Laboratory last February where a group of 20 young Syrian actors and dramaturges explored and analyzed in depth British Nobel Prize-winner Harold Pinter’s play “The Homecoming,” this play production focuses on the relationships between language, social realities and control strategies. Pinter’s script is also compared with the works of playwrights Sarah Kane and Mark Ravenhill in the theatrical project’s creation of a critical contemporary Arabic adaptation.
