The Hothouse

The Hothouse

Boston Center for the Arts
539 Tremont Street Boston

It's Christmas day at a government-run psychiatric institution and one patient has been murdered while another has just given birth. With the boss unraveling and the employees unaware of the powder keg simmering beneath them, events hurtle hilariously to a terrifying climax that proves the staff may just be crazier than the patients under their care. With scathing commentary paired with a riotous blend of farce and horror, Harold Pinter's The Hothouse exposes the corruption and ineptitude of a power-hungry bureaucracy. Don't miss the razor-sharp humor, mayhem and madness as this wicked dark comedy spirals out of control at Calderwood Pavilion at the Boston Center for the Arts.
