*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.
