Broadway to Dim Lights in Honor of Harold Pinter December 30

New York City
The marquees of Broadway theaters in New York will be dimmed in Harold Pinter’s memory on Tuesday, December 30, at exactly 7:00pm for one minute. The celebrated dramatist, actor, essayist, novelist, screenwriter, poet and director died after a long battle with cancer on December 24. He was 78.

Pinter wrote over 30 plays in his long career; his best known works included The Homecoming, which won the Tony Award for Best Play, as well as The Caretaker, The Birthday Party, No Man’s Land, Old Times, The Room, Celebration, and Betrayal. He also directed the original Broadway productions of two shows he did not write: The Man in the Glass Booth and Butley.
