Mountain Language and The Sniper
Mountain Language is written by Nobel Prize winning playwright, Harold Pinter. Set in a military prison in an unnamed country and time, the play deals with the oppression of the “mountain people” by a military state in which they have lost all individual rights. The mountain language is forbidden, while the oppressors use the “language of the Capital” as a violent tool.
