Pinter a Celebration

Sheffield Theatres presents Pinter: A Celebration

PINTER: A CELEBRATION

Harold Pinter has delighted and disturbed us for more than fifty years. Always thrillingly original, his status as the greatest English writer of the age was confirmed when in 2005 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Recently retired from playwriting after completing 29 plays and 22 screenplays, Pinter remains, "to his credit, a permanent public nuisance" (Michael Billington), composing poems, sketches, articles and passionate, antagonistic political pieces.

How best to honour a man with a vision so powerful he has his own adjective, 'Pinteresque'? Centered around our production of The Caretaker in the Crucible, across the building, and across the city, Sheffield Theatres present a programme of performances, screenplays, readings, speaker meetings and to kick things off, a cricket match against the Gaieties, Harold Pinter's beloved team.

Each event is designed to illuminate one facet of Pinter's prodigious output. See a few and enjoy his classic plays even more, or see them all, and become an expert!
