Harold Pinter

[Denis Salter]

Hello all,
The wonderful news that Harold Pinter has won the Nobel has repeatedly said that he is giving up the theatre to concentrate on
activism and writing poetry.  This is not true.  Despite his cancer, he will return to the stage next year as part of the English
Stage Company's 50th anniversary celebrations at the Royal Court.  He will act in Beckett's Krapp's Last Tape--that's felicitous
casting!--in a special season which will also feature new work from (Sir) Tom Stoppard.
--Denis.
