Pinter and Orton plays explored as a double bill from Methuen editions. Landscape and Silence are quietist works revealing memory, longing, and identity in silence. Funeral Games and The Good and Faithful Servant are closer to Orton’s satirical, arch humor with stageable television roots and sharp character clashes.
