Harold Pinter Plaque Unveiled

The house in Thistlewaite Road where the late Harold Pinter, the legendary playwright, actor, theatre director, Nobel prize winner and political agitator, grew up was officially given blue plaque status yesterday. Pinter's widow, Lady Antonia Fraser was there to say a few words along with a handful of luminaries from the world of the stage, one or two of whom themselves live within walking distance. Councillor Ian Rathbone gave a speech.
