Harold Pinter died 78 on Wednesday from cancer. David Hare said of Mr. Pinter that \u201cThe essence of his singular appeal is that you sit down to every play or film he writes in certain expectation of the unexpected.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEven old Sophocles didn\u2019t know what was going to happen next,\u201d Pinter says. \u201cHe had to find his way through unknown territory. At the same time, theater has always been a critical act, looking in a broad sense at the society in which we live and attempting to reflect and dramatize these findings. We\u2019re not talking about the moon.\u201d \u201cI find at the end of the journey, which of course is never ending, that I have found things out.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t go away and say: \u2018I have illuminated myself. You see before you a changed person. It\u2019s a more surreptitious sense of discovery that happens to the writer himself.\u201d As he said to Peter Wood of “The Birthday Party”, \u201cThe play dictated itself, but I confess that I wrote it \u2014 with intent, maliciously, purposefully, in command of its growth.\u201d<\/p>\n
