About Pinter: The Playwright and the Work

He has compiled a wide range of material which gives equal emphasis to the study and context of Pinters writing and the experiences of the theatre practitioners who bring his plays to the stage. Pinters own responses to his artistic output are gathered, from his first interview in 1959 to the latest interview carried out especially for this book in 2004. From amongst Pinters collaborators, Clive Donner, Lindsay Duncan, Gari Jones, Peter Hall, David Leveaux, Joseph Losey, Tom Rand and Lia Williams all offer reflection on his work as a writer, actor and director. This stimulating collection of interviews provides a complete guide to Pinter, his work for stage and screen, and his political outlook.
