Victoria Station (play)

Victoria Station
consists of a radio dialogue between a minicab controller (or dispatcher) and a driver (#274) who is stopped by the side
of "a dark park" in Crystal Palace, supposedly waiting further instructions. The stage directions Lights up on
office. CONTROLLER sitting at microphone and Lights up on DRIVER in car alternate between these settings.

The
controller attempts to instruct the driver to pick up a client from Victoria Station, but the driver declines to move,
focusing on his current client (who is apparently unmoving, perhaps even dead, in the back seat). The Controller's mood
shifts through various degrees of mystification towards irritation and then possibly compassion masking some more
nefarious intention of what to do with this Driver.

Lasting fewer than ten minutes, the play's tone is mostly
comic, as the Controller becomes more and more frantic at the Driver's recalcitrance; however, as the play develops, the
Controller's orders become increasingly ominous threats: "Drop your passenger. Drop your passenger at his chosen
destination and proceed to Victoria Station. Otherwise I'll destroy you bone by bone. I'll suck you in and blow you out
in little bubbles. I'll chew your stomach out with my own teeth. I'll eat all the hair off your body. You'll end up
looking like a pipe cleaner? Get me?". But Driver reveals that this client is a young female with whom he has
"fallen in love" (possibly "for the first time") and from whom he refuses to part, imagining that he
will even marry her and that they will "die together in this car", despite the previous admission that he is
already married to a wife probably "asleep in bed" and the father of (perhaps) "a little daughter" -
"Yes, I think that's what she is".

The play becomes more somber in tone, as the Controller tries to
assure the fearfully insecure Driver that all will be fine, finally cajoling him to "stay exactly where" he
is, as the Controller prepares to leave "this miserable freezing fucking office" - obsessed in turn by the
Driver and the fact that "nobody loves me" - in search of him, saying that he imagines them sharing a holiday
together on Barbados. In response to the Driver's repeated plea, "Don't leave me", the Controller may be
prepared to "help" him (as he insists), but one may still wonder if he might actually retain some more
menacing possibility.

It was first performed at the National Theatre [Cottesloe], London, on 14 October 1982
[as part of Other Places - a triple bill, with Family Voices and A Kind of Alaka]. The performers were Paul Rogers as
the Controller and Martin Jarvis as the Driver. The same cast recorded a radio version for BBC Radio 3, directed by John
Tydeman and first transmitted on 15 August 1986.

The sketch is published in Other Places: Three Plays,
including also A Kind of Alaska and Family Voices (Grove Press, 1983), and also in Other Places: Four Plays by Harold
Pinter (Dramatists Play Service, 1984).

The Withering of Love - Alan Jenkins [The Times
Literary Supplement, 29 October 1982]

In Victoria Station a mini-cab driver languishing by the side of 'a
dark park' in Crystal Palace, and his increasingly demented controller wrestling over the air-waves with the former's
stunned incomprehension and his own raging loneliness, sketch the outlines of a mutual dependency so desperate and so
charged with misunderstanding that the controller's promise to 'come down there' sounds like a death-threat and the
driver's plaintive 'Don't leave me' gasped into his car-radio sounds like the cry of a helpless child. The one in his
darkened office, the other in his darkened cab, exchange the counters of their trade less and less convincingly, and
both eventually give way to escapist fantasy. Fear and loathing in South London take on a music-hall air as the
possibility of getting a cab to Victoria Station recedes and a double-act of intermittent and fading interest takes
over; will control 'go down there' or get the driver back for a nice cup of tea? Has the latter a Passenger On Board, a
sleeping girl with whom he had fallen in love, as he says he has, and will he stay in Crystal Palace for ever? Has he
perhaps killed the girl? Or assaulted her? Are these things even on his mind? The sketch remains a sketch, a brilliantly
economical and quintessentially Pinterish idea that never begins to look like a play; glowingly isolated faces marooned
behind glass and the crackle of the intercom have initially a diffused irony and pathos, but the opportunities are
wasted.
