Harold Pinter
«I really like the way the different strands are woven together : reconsideration of Pinter’s status, biographical ( including his Jewishness) and political factors, his relationship with the theatre of his time and his position within the major trends of twentieth century European theatre. The presence of a practising British playwright within the contributors thinking about Pinter’s working methods is very interesting as is the commentary on Pinter’s influence on contemporary playwrights such as Martin Crimp, Dennis Kelly, Jez Butterworth. The final section of proposed interviews will tap into the current revival of interest in Pinter production –the 2018 Bristol Old Vic all-black actors production of The Caretaker and the current high-profile and critically acclaimed season of plays presented at the Pinter Theatre in London are just two examples.»
