Harold Pinter fue un gran expositor del teatro del absurdo. En sus tres obras que aparecen en este libro queda demostrado. Acontecimientos sin sentido, diálogos absurdos y personajes peculiares. Al igual que sus dos primeras obras, La Fiesta de Cumpleaños y La Habitación, Pinter emplea la comedia de amenza dejando escenas que pueden cautivar al lector, o al público. Si alguno le gusta Samuel Beckett puede probar con Pinter si quiere conocer obras de teatro de similar calidad.
