WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Adapted and directed by Vladimir Shcherban, Being Harold Pinter incorporates transcripts from Belarusian political prisoners with excerpts from Harold Pinter's lifetime of writings. Creating visually striking images with simple means and underscoring the fierceness of Pinter's words with the intense physicality of the actors, Being Harold Pinter blurs the boundaries between art and reality, delivering a poignant contemporary commentary on violence, oppression, freedom and human dignity.
Runs in repertory with Zone of Silence and Discover Love. Click here for a complete schedule.
