A NEW HISTORICIST APPROACH TO HAROLD PINTER’S ONE FOR THE ROAD
Öz
Harold Pinter (1930-2008) is one of the most outstanding and important post-war British dramatists. He has written theatre plays, radio plays, screenplays for films, sketches and poems. His plays deal with political matters. Especially his play One for the Road (1984) is openly political. Even though Pinter has stated that this play is not about just Turkish state or Turkey itself, quite a large number of critics think that One for the Road is about Turkish writers who have no freedom of speech in Turkey. There has been a lack of research on the play in Turkey. Therefore the main concern of this article is to illustrate the ins and outs of this play according to the New Historicist approach and discuss whether it is directly about Turkey or not.
