Harold Pinter: War

Pinter's response to world events is always pure and simple: he writes with an economy that throws the stark light of truth onto any given subject. There is no fudge, no dallying, no compromise.

On the set of Henry V, Pinter marks the publication of War and reads eight poems and one speech that testify to the strength and lucidity of his unwavering view on war and provide a declaration for humanity.

Afterwards, he will answer questions about his work. Chaired by Michael Billington.

Harold Pinter: War finished on: 10 June 2003
