On my way to the airport, heading home, after a great Pinter conference here in Naples. There was a fantastic balance between academic discussion and practice - a panel of actors and directors, and a panel of translators and writers. And then a few performances

Do go and see Harry Burton's production of Pinter's The Dwarfs at the White Bear. It's an edgily funny account of
the writer's Hackney youth and you can't really understand Pinter unless you've seen the play or read the novel on which it is based.

Happy to report that this is Pinter production number 905 in our database:

The box office takings for the first production of Pinter’s The Birthday Party, before it was cancelled. He kept this, framed, in the toilet to his studio, visible directly from the seated position.

Thank you to Trevor Faulkner for getting in touch with this small piece of history (and a fragile slide of a photograph the scenery, which we will convert in time).

We have just received a small scrap of paper from 1957, the flyer from the 30 December 1957 production of The Room, performed as part of the Sunday Times student drama festival, the second ever production of Pinter's first ever play. It is now in the DB https://t.co/nw2Kvyyo6B

Finally, his The Birthday Party was broadcast on BBC2 on 21 June 1987 and featured Pinter himself as Goldberg, terrorising Kenneth Cranham as Stanley https://t.co/XuShOeneI7

We are sorry to learn of the recent death of Kenneth Ives, a television actor in the 1960s who moved to directing in the 1970s and produced some fabulous iterations of Pinter plays in the 1980s. A thread lists those we have on the database:

A couple of days later, his iconic One for the Road was broadcast on BBC2 as well, featuring a terrifying Alan Bates, Roger Lloyd-Pack and Rosie Kerslake: https://t.co/LqTFOEUWAZ
