Tea Party (play)
''Tea Party'' is a play written by Harold Pinter, which Pinter adapted from his own 1963 short story of the same title.〔''Plays: Three'' and ''Complete Works: Three'' 241–47. Subsequent references to these editions and to Pinter's official Website appear in parentheses in the text.〕〔The short story "Tea Party" is also published in ''Various Voices'' 94–98.〕 As a screenplay, it was commissioned by the European Broadcasting Union, directed by Charles Jarrott, and first transmitted on BBC Television in the programme ''The Largest Theatre in the World'' on 25 March 1965 (''Complete Works: Three'' 100).〔See also: Pinter, ''The Lover, Tea Party, The Basement'' 42.〕 It was first produced on stage in October 1968 as part of a double bill with Pinter's play ''The Basement''.〔Quoted in ("Synopsis" ) for ''Tea Party'', in "Harold Pinter (1930–2008)".〕
==Synophsis==
''Tea Party'' "revolves around a family engaged in a business of sanitary engineering."〔Back cover, ''The Lover, Tea Party, The Basement''.〕 According to an account published in the ''New Yorker'', the play concerns "a middle-aged self-made business man named Sisson" (whom Pinter later renamed Disson), who engages a young secretary, marries a beautiful young second wife, and takes his new brother-in-law into his business–all in the same day";
Mysteries abound. What is going on between the wife and her brother? Are they indeed brother and sister? Sisson has his doubts about that … . Why does Sisson feel that there must be something wrong with his eyes, although he knows that he can see clearly and his eye doctor has assured him that his vision is perfect? He forces his secretary to tie a chiffon scarf over his eyes, and then he is able to make a pass at her, in response to one of her many come-ons. Ordinary events assume a sinister tinge. Sisson's two sons, giving him the deadpan treatment that little boys have been inflicting on their elders from time immemorial, seem as eerie as characters out of a ghost story. Always the questions remain. Is there a conspiracy against Sisson.
