The Homecoming is a two-act play written in 1964 by Nobel laureateHarold Pinter and it was first published in 1965. Its premières in London (1965) and New York (1967) were both directed by Sir Peter Hall and starred Pinter's first wife, Vivien Merchant, as Ruth. The original Broadway production won the 1967 Tony Award for Best Play. Its 40th-anniversary Broadway production at the Cort Theatre was nominated for a 2008 Tony Award for "Best Revival of a Play".
Set in North London, the play has six characters. Five of these are men who are related to each other: Max, a retired butcher; his brother Sam, a chauffeur; and Max's three sons — Teddy, an expatriate American philosophy professor; Lenny, who appears to be a pimp; and Joey, a would-be boxer in training who works in demolition. There is one woman, Ruth, who is Teddy's wife. The play concerns Teddy's and Ruth's "homecoming," which has distinctly different symbolic and thematic implications.

It's the way of a cosmic sailor, in a boat in the night But the wolves are not seating him he is alright Just the day just the day away I can feel it sometimes But the wolves are not scaring me I long for twilight Then with the morning comes The sun that finds them all so divides the night and they die And with the morning sun A lonely teardrop falls down from my eye and I die But where did all the cosmic sailors come from Far away from across the sea And where have all the cosmic sailors now gone And the night that showed them all to me On the waves of this silver ocean for a while there he smiles As he sails with the other ones the wind dies So a cry so a cry is calling all the wolves among the night As I sail with the other ories I find them alright Then with the morning comes The sun that finds them all so divides the night and they die And with the morning sun
