Synopsis
First performed in 1988, Harold Pinter’s Mountain Language, follows a group of prisoners in an unnamed country, trying to find a voice when their native language has been banned.
Inspired by the long history of oppression the Kurds suffered under Turkish rule, the play blends the absurdism and realism found in Pinter’s earlier plays. In 2005, Pinter was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.
