What readers are saying

Readers have mixed feelings about the play's brevity and depth. While many appreciate the sharp political commentary and writing style, some feel that the short form does not allow the ideas to fully develop. Overall, there is a recognition of Pinter's powerful use of language, even if some wish for a longer exploration of the themes presented.

Synopsis

Focusing on the brutalities of a society which forbids a minority of its population to speak in their own language, it is a play of few words which add up to an eloquent indictment of the banning of any human utterance.'
