Harold Pinter - A Celebration

Harold Pinter is undoubtedly one of the world's major playwrights. In this tribute to him on his seventieth birthday, a number of people from theatre, television and radio and the world of cricket and political commentary came together to celebrate the writer and the man in specially written pieces for this book. Together, all these illuminate with affection, humour and insight the work, the man behind the work and the appeal of both. With an introduction by Richard Eyre, the contributors include Alan Bates, Eileen Diss, Lindsay Duncan, Simon Gray, David Hare, Ronald Harwood, Douglas Hodge, Patrick Marber, Louis Marks, Ian McDiarmid and Jonathan Kent, Edna O'Brien, Peggy Paterson, John Pilger, Hilary Wainwright, Janet Whitaker, Penelope Wilton, Robert Winder, and Henry Woolf.
