The<br />
Homecoming<br />
by Harold Pinter<br />
Teddy has been living in America for<br />
the past six years, away from the allmale<br />
household of his father, uncle<br />
and brothers. Then, one night, he<br />
returns unexpectedly to the family’s<br />
North London home, accompanied<br />
by his wife, Ruth. An elusive sense of<br />
menace permeates the household,<br />
as the ensuing struggle for power<br />
leads to a shocking conclusion.<br />

Richard III<br />
by William Shakespeare<br />
Revelling in his own villainy, the<br />
deformed yet charismatic Richard, Duke<br />
of Gloucester, carves a murderous path<br />
through his own family to reach the<br />
English throne. To seize power, however,<br />
is one thing; to hold on to it is another<br />
– and Richard soon finds the ghosts of<br />
his past rising up to challenge his rule.<br />
Teachers: If you teach Macbeth, here’s<br />
a chance to introduce your students to<br />
another character who murders his way<br />
to power. Both plays also raise<br />
questions – as does Romeo and Juliet<br />
– about the role of fate in our lives.<br />
