    Biography of British playwright harold pinter, plus links to all of his works currently in print. harold pinter. The son of a Jewish tailor, harold pinter was born in East London in 1930.  
    http://www.imagi-nation.com/moonstruck/clsc28.html
    
    Extractions: Harold Pinter The son of a Jewish tailor, Harold Pinter was born in East London in 1930. He started writing poetry for little magazines in his teens. As a young man, he studied acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and the Central School of Speech and Drama, but soon left to undertake an acting career under the stage name David Baron. He travelled around Ireland in a Shakespearean company and spent years working in provincial repertory before deciding to turn his attention to playwriting. Pinter started writing plays in 1957. He had mentioned an idea for a play to a friend who worked in the drama department at Bristol University. The friend liked the idea so much that he wrote to Pinter asking for the play. The only problem was that if the university was to perform the play, they would need a script within the week. Pinter wrote back and told his friend to forget the whole thingthen sat down and wrote the play in four days. The product of his labors, a one-act entitled The Room , contained many of the elements that would characterize Pinter's later worksnamely a commonplace situation gradually invested with menace and mystery through the deliberate omission of an explanation or motivation for the action. Later this same year, Pinter would develop his style still further in another one-act

23. Harold Pinter
    pinter's thoughts on US foreign policy Milosovic  
    http://members.tripod.com/sarant_2/ks9pinter.html
    
    Extractions: Milosevic is undoubtedly ruthless and savage. So is Clinton. Clinton continues the vicious Reagan/Bush tradition with no trouble at all. But he combines that tradition with a shy grin and a beguiling southern drawl. He can really be so sweet on television. Blair is the one who kisses Clinton's arse fervently and dreams that he is Mrs Thatcher. The level of intelligence employed in this whole enterprise is pathetic if not infantile. The US is now a highly dangerous force, totally out of control. Harold Pinter

    Extractions: "There are no hard distinctions between what is real and what is unreal, nor between what is true and what is false. A thing is not necessarily either true or false; it can be both true and false." I believe that these assertions still make sense and do still apply to the exploration of reality through art. So as a writer I stand by them but as a citizen I cannot. As a citizen I must ask: What is true? What is false? Honorary Doctorate Speech given at Turin University - 27th November 2002 Born 10 October 1930 in East London, playwright, director, actor, poet and political activist. Pinter has written twenty-nine plays including The Birthday Party, The Caretaker, The Homecoming, and Betrayal, twenty-one screenplays including The Servant, The Go-Between and The French Lieutenant's Woman, and directed twenty-seven theatre productions, including James Joyce's Exiles, David Mamet's Oleanna, seven plays by Simon Gray and many of his own plays including his latest, Celebration, paired with his first, The Room at The Almeida Theatre, London in the spring of 2000.

26. All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: The Trial
    Review looking at the acting, Kafka's story and its adaptation by harold pinter.  
    http://www.all-reviews.com/videos-3/trial-1993.htm
    
    Extractions: First, let me confess that I have never read much Kafka other than collecting some of his classic quotes (see appendix). Based on what I do know, THE TRIAL appears to be quintessential Kafka. THE TRIAL starts with the arrest of what we would call a Senior Vice President of a large bank, but it is set in Prague before the turn of the century so he is call a chief clerk (pronounced "clark" in true British fashion) of the bank. The clerk is played excellently by Kyle MacLachlan. Although arrested, he is free to go and is never told the charges. The clerk is arrogant and tells everyone how ridiculous this all is. But in a world of non-Euclidean geometry, everything that seems right isn't. Slowly the clerk begins to realizes the trouble he is in. When he goes to the court he sees long lines of people who are accused. No one actually goes on trial. Everyone waits.

    Acclaimed playwright harold pinter walked out on a new play after it opened with a burst of extremely loud music.  
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/arts/1361519.stm
    
    Extractions: Acclaimed playwright Harold Pinter walked out on a new play after it opened with a burst of extremely loud music. Pinter, 71, and his wife Lady Antonia Fraser left the Almeida Theatre at Kings Cross just before the curtain came up on Neil LaBute's new offering. The Shape of Things, starring The Mummy actress Rachel Weisz, starts with extremely loud bursts of rock grunge from the Smashing Pumpkins. Artistic director Ian McDiarmid confirmed Pinter had left because of noise. But he insisted it was a deliberate decision by director LaBute to include loud music, which plays in the auditorium as the play is about to commence. LaBute has an impressive list of film and theatre credits to his name including Nurse Betty, starring Rene Zellwegger, and The Company of Men.

    http://www.shoestring.org/mmi_revs/comfstra.html
    
    Extractions: This riveting sequence says a lot about the rest of the film. Natasha Richardson plays a young British mother of two who leaves them at home to travel to Venice with her even-more British lover Rupert Everett. The match is not made in heaven and it is clear that they are beginning to bore each other. There are only a zillion restaurants in Venice, but one night they can't find one and who should crawl out of the nearest dark alley but a slimy stranger in a white suit? (Christopher Walken, of course, typecast this time with an all purpose Italian-Bavarian accent!) Three guys in front of me are in stitches, I am in stitches and at least one stuffed shirt is disgusted with all of us for not accepting this beautiful work of art with appropriate reverence. Our reaction probably counts as a venial sin, at least. I went home and enjoyed watching "Goldfinger" and "Arsenic And Old Lace" which just may count as FOUR mortal sins.

    Review analysis of harold pinter's Betrayal  
    http://www.theatermirror.com/betrayal.htm
    
    Extractions: MARQUEE USHER SEATS INTERMISSION ... CURTAIN Todd Olson Among the myriad of cultural offers this summer in the multitude of venues throughout the pastoral Berkshires, there is one theatrical event especially worthy of note. Just a few miles off the Mass Pike, deep in the estate of novelist Edith Wharton, Shakespeare and Company, now in their 20th season, has mounted a rich and fascinating production of Harold Pinters BETRAYAL. Suspenseful, lyrical, human, and complex, BETRAYAL is perhaps just the kind of theatre Edith Wharton would have loved in her opulent upstairs parlour on a cool midsummer's night. Written in 1978, BETRAYAL represents one of Pinters last producable plays for the stage, having written the body of what are considered his finest plays before 1972. And while BETRAYAL is a slight departure from those qualities that usually describe Pinter work, it is this departure that makes BETRAYAL as accessible and powerful as it is. In his vintage work from the 1950's and 1960's like THE DUMB WAITER, THE BIRTHDAY PARTY, and THE HOMECOMING, Pinter presents everyday situations that gradually take on an air of mystery or menace, propelled by unexplained, unrevealed, or ambiguous motivations. BETRAYAL is less cryptic and more causal than the rest, and, despite telling this story in reverse order, the first scene taking place in the spring of 1977 and the last in the winter of 1968, BETRAYAL is relatively straight-forward and logical.
