Synopsis:
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.

The Hothouse was written in the winter of 1958 between two of his  
best-known early plays, The Birthday Party and The Caretaker.   It  
was shelved following the initial commercial failure of The Birthday  
Party, and was subsequently first produced (directed by Pinter) and  
published in 1980.
