Except that it is Pinter's funniest play, The Hothouse conforms to all of these characteristics. Written in 1958, it was Pinter's second full-length work.

The issue will possibly be decided by the Administration; though it generally tilts to the conservative side of the so-called moral issues, the Administration has so far withheld forthright support of the anticourt campaign partly because of genuine doubts about its constitutionality and also out of fear of endangering the congressional consensus on economic issues...
