Staged in a former government building, Hydrocracker’s darkly compelling promenade performance journeys from the council chambers of high-minded policymakers to the labyrinthine depths below, where functionaries of the new world order keep ‘the world clean for democracy’.
Interweaving five of Harold Pinter’s miniature masterpieces – Press Conference, One for the Road, Precisely, Mountain Language and The New World Order – this immersive experience draws audiences into the heart of the action, transforming them from passive viewers to complicit witnesses.
One of the most acclaimed site-specific works of recent years, The New World Order can now be seen in London for the first time, poignantly presented in Pinter’s home borough of Hackney.
’ ...a shattering experience that brings Pinter’s world directly home.’ The Guardian *****
