German title: Berg-Sprache
Genre: play
On the 20th October 1988 the political theatre play “Mountain Language” was performed the first time in the National Theatre of London. The language of this play is an embodiment of political and human freedom. A dictatorship is pilloried in which a language of a minority, the “Mountain Language”, is forbidden. Everybody who offends against this will be punished with torture and jail.
Running at just under 25 minutes, Harold Pinter's new play, Mountain Language, delivers a great shock. He shows the abusiveness of the people, which forbids a minority of people to speak their language they want to. The play is compound of a few words, which add up to an eloquent indictment of the banning of any human utterance.
