“Life is beautiful but the world is hell”
Definitely worth seeing before it goes off air. He’s also performing Krapp’s Last Tape at the Royal Court in October.
According to the BBC: “…What followed was an unexpectedly frank and heartfelt interview in which he talked about what his plays and poems mean to him, and his debt to Beckett – he also told a very funny story about his relationship with Beckett.
He talked about what “Pinteresque might be” and also spoke movingly about his illness and the effect on him of facing death twice.
He also laughed a lot! And then he performed a new piece of Pinter in the studio with the actor Rupert Graves. …”
