Harold Pinter - Part Two: Celebration
Film biography which explores the relationship between the public and private dimensions of the playwright and actor, following him at work over two years.
In part two of this film biography, Arena explores the relationship between the public and private dimensions of the famous playwright and actor's life and work; the intimacy of his plays since the seventies; his work in films and television drama; his passion for poetry; and his fervent 'political engagement'.
Arena accompanied Pinter for two years to film plays and events in America and all over Europe. The wildly funny Celebration features a group of friends celebrating in a restaurant and, over the course of the evening, revealing details of their private lives in this very public space.
Arena reunites members of the cast, including Lindsay Duncan, Andy de la Tour, Susan Wooldridge and Indira Varma, who discuss their working relationship with Harold Pinter.
Other contributors include his wife Lady Antonia Fraser, journalist John Pilger and Pinter's biographer Michael Billington.
