September 11–27, 2025 
Directed by Donnald Drummond
Featuring Jeff Braswell, Glenn Hergenhahn-Zhao, Tyler Detrick, and Dawson Phillips

Harold Pinter’s No Man’s Land stands on shifting sands of memory - a razor-sharp comedy of survival, power plays, and half-remembered truths.  Darkly funny, unsettling, and unforgettable.

No Man's Land abounds in mysteries. Written in 1974, it features a pair of 60-something writers drinking their way through a long evening and bleary morning of fractured reminiscences and sly emotional maneuvers, along the way touching on matters of love and loss, time and memory, privilege and power. What begins as a drunken conversation slowly mutates into a battle of stories, memories, and identities. Are these two men old acquaintances, enemies, or merely improvising roles in a dangerous game of words? As night falls and Hirst’s two menacing retainers, Foster and Briggs, arrive, the ground becomes even less stable. Pinter’s play operates in a space between the real and the imagined, where memory becomes a weapon, silence speaks louder than dialogue, and humor cuts as sharply as menace.

Harold Pinter was one of the most influential dramatists of the twentieth century, renowned for his unique use of language, silence, and subtext. His plays often explore power dynamics, the fragility of memory, and the menace lurking beneath everyday conversation. 

Earlier iDiOM Pinter productions in collaboration with Stonetown Theatre Works include: The Birthday Party, The Lovers, and The Dumbwaiter. 

90 minutes.
