TI  - MEMORY PLAYS: HAROLD PINTER’S OLD TIMES AND ANTHONY NEILSON’S PENETRATOR
AB  - As a much-discussed part of the human mind, memory today is an interdisciplinary subject studied by a variety of academicfields such as psychology, sociology, psychiatry, cultural studies, and literature. In British drama, it finds a reflection withthe term “memory plays” whose representative playwright in the twentieth century is Harold Pinter. On the other hand, itcan be observed that Anthony Neilson, emerging as a voice of the British In-Yer-Face drama of the 1990s, makes anemphatic use of memory in his plays like his predecessor. In this sense, this paper argues that Anthony Neilson’s playwritingshows resemblances to Harold Pinter’s, which is acknowledged as the Pinteresque, that, more specifically, Pinter’s OldTimes (1971) and Neilson’s Penetrator (1993) share much in their use of memory, and analyses the particularities eachplaywright employs in their utilisation of this concept within their plays.
