A LA Times best theater book of 2022 Harold Pinter and Tom
Stoppard, by most accounts the leading British playwrights of our
time, might seem to come from very different aesthetic, cultural
and political worlds. But as Carey Perloff's fascinating new book
reveals, the two have much in common. By examining these
contemporaries alongside one another and in the context of the
rehearsal room, we can glean new insights and connections,
including the impact of their Jewish background on their work and
their passion for the details of stagecraft. Readers of Pinter and
Stoppard: A Director's View will emerge with a set of tools for
approaching their work in a performance environment and for
unlocking the mysteries of the plays for audiences. Esteemed
theatre director Carey Perloff draws upon her first-hand experience
of working with both writers, creating case studies of particular
plays in production to provide new ways of positioning the work
today. 30 years after major criticism on both playwrights first
emerged, this is a ripe moment for a fresh examination of the
unique contribution of Pinter and Stoppard in the twenty-first
century.
