'His own domain': Harold Pinter, a life in the theatre
A new temporary exhibition at the British Library celebrates the life and work of Harold Pinter
In awarding the 2005 Nobel Prize in Literature to Harold Pinter, the Committee Chair noted that: "with his 29 plays and about 100 that he has directed or acted in, he has made the theatre his own domain".
Drawing from the recently acquired Harold Pinter archive of unique manuscripts, letters, photographs, and sound recordings, this temporary exhibition at the Sir John Ritblat Gallery in the British Library charts Pinter's life in the theatre as an actor, director, and writer of some of the most significant and celebrated plays of the 20th century.
