Harold Pinter's The Homecoming Headed Back to Broadway 06-07

Variety reports that Nobel laureate Harold Pinter's 1965 play - "The Homecoming" is headed back to Broadway in the 2006/7 theatre season. Producers Jeffrey Richards, and Jerry Frankel are said to have acquired the rights.

The original 1967 production starred Michael Craig, Ian Holm, Vivien Merchant, John Normington, Terrence Rigby, and Paul Rogers and ran for 324 performances at The Music Box Theatre.

Notes about The Homecoming, state that the story begins in an old and slightly seedy house in North London where lives a family of men: Max, the aging but still aggressive patriarch; his younger, ineffectual brother Sam; and two of Max's three sons, neither of whom is married—Lenny, a small-time pimp, and Joey, who dreams of success as a boxer. Into this sinister abode comes the eldest son, Teddy, who, having spent the past six years teaching philosophy in America, is now bringinghis wife, Ruth, home to visit the family she has never met. As the play progresses, the younger brothers make increasingly outrageous passes at their sister-in-law until they are practically making love to her in front of her stunned but strangely aloof husband.
