Synopses & Reviews
Set against the decayed elegance of a house in Londons Hampstead Heath, in No Mans Land two men face each other over a drink.

All four inhabit a no mans land between time present and time remembered, between reality and imaginationa territory which Pinter explores with his characteristic mixture of biting wit, aggression, and anarchic sexuality.
