It was recently announced that Mark Rylance would be giving two charity performances of Pinter’s Nobel Prize Lecture entitled Art, Truth & Politics in support of the Stop the War charity. The performances take place on two separate nights at 6pm on the 2nd and 4th of October only. Rylance’s performances are free to attend when you present a valid ticket for that night’s corresponding Pinter production. £10 from every ticket sold for these two performances will be donated to the organisation. Rylance will also be taking part in a special Q&A session on 2 October.
Pinter One: One For The Road/New World Order/Mountain Language/Ashes to Ashes features the world premiere of the newly discovered Pinter sketch entitled The Pres and an Officer, which is a satirical “anarchic attack on the Presidency.”
The Harold Pinter season marks the 10th anniversary of the late playwright’s death and it was organised by The Jamie Lloyd Company and Pinter’s wife Lady Antonia Fraser. It is presented by ATG Productions, Benjamin Lowy Productions, Gavin Kalin Productions, Glass Half Full Productions and The Jamie Lloyd Company. Featuring many of the playwright's rarely staged plays, poems and sketches, this is one cultural event you won’t want to miss!
