Sorry to bring sad news!
Just heard that Harold Pinter has passed away!
Thank you for all the plays Sir, over the years.
A thorough gentleman and a true London man.
Condolences to Lady Antonia Fraser and family.

....Pinter is the recipient of nineteen honorary degrees and numerous other honors and awards, including the Nobel Prize in Literature and the French Légion d'honneur. Academic institutions and performing arts organizations have devoted symposia, festivals, and celebrations to honoring him and his work, in recognition of his cultural influence and achievements across genres and media. In awarding Pinter the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2005, instigating some public controversy and criticism, the Swedish Academy cited him for being "generally regarded as the foremost representative of British drama in the second half of the 20th century."
