Applicant (sketch)
''Applicant'' is a dramatic sketch written by Harold Pinter. Originally written in 1959 and first published by Eyre Methuen in 1961, it was first broadcast on BBC Radio on the Third Programme "between February and March 1964," along with Pinter's other revue sketches, ''That's Your Trouble'', ''That's All'', ''Interview'', and ''Dialogue for Three''.〔"Revue Sketches" in ''Plays: Three'' and ''Complete Works: Three'' 222.〕
A revised and much-expanded version of ''Applicant'' is incorporated in the last scene of Act One of Pinter's play ''The Hothouse'', wherein the character still called Lamb is "tested" in "''a soundproof room''" by Miss Cutts, the successor of Miss Piffs, and her colleague Gibbs (58–78).
According to Pinter's official authorised biographer Michael Billington, the sketch (and the scene in ''The Hothouse'') was inspired by and reproduced details of "his own experience ('a guinea pig' )" at the Maudsley Hospital in London" in 1954, in which he took part to earn "ten bob or something" and about which he told Billington: "''The Hothouse'' was kicked off by that experience. I was well aware of being used for an experiment and feeling quite powerless" (''Harold Pinter'' 102, 104).
==Setting==
An "office" (Pinter, "Applicant" 231).
