Arena: Harold Pinter

Part One: The Room. Nigel Williams presents a two-part film biography exploring the life, work and political passions of the famous playwright and actor. This first part explores Pinter's key theme, the room, through the rooms in which he wrote his first series of plays. He has given Arena exclusive access to personal recordings in which he talks frankly to his biographer Michael Billington. Presented for the first time on television, they tell Pinter's story in his own words, as he remembers it.
