As a teacher artist, people always ask you questions like who is your favourite actor?, what’s your favourite play?, what’s the best thing you’ve ever seen? and so on and to be honest, I find it hard to answer most of those questions. It’s not because I am fickle (well not much), it’s because tastes changes, my ideas develop and I’m always seeing new things.

However, there is one constant, and a question I can answer definitely – Harold Pinter. A master and prolific playwright. I love his work. It is timeless, universal, accessible, funny, heartrending, and in later life, political, powerful and shocking. He was a Nobel Prize winner for good reason.
Today I offer you a wonderful two part documentary on his life and works, that was made just after his death in 2008. Download it and watch it at your leisure.
