Several years ago, I saw a performance by Julian Sands of Harold Pinter's work. The setting of Baldwin Auditorium provided a distinctive stage for the narrative.
Sands knew Pinter and was coached by him while rehearsing the working. Pinter was ill with cancer and chose Sands to do the delivery. John Malkovich directed.
Sands stayed afterward and chatted with the audience. It was a glorious evening.
Pinter won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2005, I believe. Here is his lecture for the Prize, which he was unable to attend.
