Özet:
Harold Pinter is one of the most influential playwrights in
twentieth century British drama. Although his oeuvre has extensively been
studied throughout the world, his influence on contemporary British drama and
dramatists remains widely to be explored. Pinter's theatrical style, commonly
known as Pinteresque, has been a significant part of British drama in terms of
focusing on certain issues such as oppression, power struggles, the failure of
communication, isolation in a precarious world, intrusion into domestic
settings, the abuse of authority, and institutional violence on powerless
subjects. Through his authentic practices, Pinter created a 'Pinterland' where
individuals prefer to dwell in enclosed spaces to escape from the terrors of
the outside, where language works to prevent communication rather than
invigorate it, where strangers intrude into personal spaces to break the
comfort of the inside, and where citizens are subjected to institutions'
oppressive authority. In contemporary British drama, playwrights who want to
deal with similar issues are frequently visiting Pinterland to gain inspiration
from Pinter's methods and contributing to the course that Pinter drew. This
study aims to reveal the influence of Harold Pinter on contemporary playwrights
through close readings of two plays, Philip Ridley's The Fastest Clock in the
Universe and Enda Walsh's The Walworth Farce as well as examining Pinter's The
Hothouse to reveal the qualities of Pinteresque in a Pinter play.
