A new, behind-the-scenes trailer just hit the web before the first preview of Jamie Lloyd's 50th anniversary production of Pinter's multi-award winning modern classic THE HOMECOMING. The production stars Keith Allen (Sam), Gemma Chan (Ruth), Ron Cook (Max), Gary Kemp (Teddy), John Macmillan (Joey) and John Simm (Lenny). Click below to go inside tech rehearsal!

Widely regarded as Pinter's finest play, the dangerous and tantalisingly ambiguous world of THE HOMECOMING is a crackling hotbed of visceral tension. Celebrated as one of the leading interpreters of Pinter's work, director Jamie Lloyd has assembled an impressive cast in what promises to be a dynamic production.

Designed by Soutra Gilmour, with lighting design by Richard Howell and sound by George Dennis.

THE HOMECOMING is a unique contemporary masterpiece of the 20th Century. This 50th anniversary production will continue The Jamie Lloyd Company's reputation for presenting compelling drama that sparks passionate debate.

When Teddy returns from America to introduce his wife Ruth to his family in London, they discover a claustrophobic and brutal household where his father Max, brothers Lenny and Joey and Uncle Sam live in a state of mutual loathing and festering resentment. Theirs is a motherless, compassionless and lawless home where Ruth immediately becomes the centre of attention. Pinter's sinister masterpiece simmers with suspense and rings with savage humour as Ruth navigates her way between the roles of predator and prey in an incisive battle of wills.
