Harold Pinter - Biography

Biography a Pinter - Life and Work of the Great British Playwright and Nobel Laureate

Harold Pinter was born on October 10, 1930 in East London, UK. His family was working-class and his parents supported his interest in literature and the arts. Already at an early age, he showed a talent for drama and began to write the first plays.

Pinter studied at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, where he developed his acting and directing skills. His studies were interrupted by military service, but after the end of the war he returned to art and began to actively work in the theater.

Harold began his career as an actor and worked in various theatres in London. However, he quickly drew attention to his own potential in the field of drama. His first successful play, The Room, was staged in 1957, and it brought him recognition as a playwright.

Harold's most famous works include "The Caretaker," "Come Back, Little Sheba," "Silent Space," "The Brokeback Road" and many others. His work was distinguished by a characteristic atmosphere of problems in interpersonal relations and the use of sarcasm and silence as a means of communication.

Harold is considered one of the great playwrights of the 20th century and the founder of the "theater of the absurd." His work revisited traditional drama structures and raised questions of power, violence, and human essence. His influence on theatre arts and literature is hard to overstate, and his works are still studied and supplied on stages around the world.
