<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Lucida Grande";">The
play is set in a dubious institution; referred to throughout the play as both a
'rest home' and a 'sanatorium', wherein the residents (or 'patients') are
referred to by number, rather than by name. The institution's bombastic leader,
Roote, has his professionalism and even his sanity constantly undermined by his
two lackey underlings, the quiet and efficient Gibbs and the sleazy and
alcoholic Lush. Roote's calculating and shrewd mistress, Miss Cutts, adds to
the mayhem. After the supposed murder of one patient and the rape and resulting
pregnancy of another, Roote, Gibbs and Lush set out to find the culprit(s),
only to discover a disturbing secret.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Lucida Grande";">The
Hothouse was written in the winter of 1958 between two of his best-known early
plays, The Birthday Party and The Caretaker.<span style=""> </span>It was shelved following the initial commercial
failure of The Birthday Party, and was subsequently first produced (directed by
Pinter) and published in 1980.</span></p>
