This project aims to trace, chart, archive and contextualise every professional production of Harold Pinter’s plays in the UK since 1957 and through to 2017, as well as his output on television, radio and film. The research is being conducted from 2017-19 and will facilitate the construction of new appreciations of how Pinter’s work across media forms his distinctive voice, and the impact that his output has had.
