Harold Pinter

Today, we are taking information about some Nobel prize winners. I have to do it about the winners of 2005. I just select Harold Pinter, due to, I like the literature and the arts and he is very communicated with that.
Born in London in 1930, Harold Pinter is a renowned playwright and screenwriter, also he is a famous actor and writer. His plays are particularly famous for their use of understatement to convey characters' thoughts and feelings. In 2005, Pinter was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. He also won other prizes apart from the noble prize of 2005, the Companion of Honour in 2002, the Légion d'honneur in 2007, the David Cohen Prize in 1995 and the Laurence Olivier Award in 1996. 
Pinter was born and raised in Hackney, east London, and educated at Hackney Downs School. He was a sprinter and a keen cricket player, acting in school plays and writing poetry. He attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art but did not complete the course. Harold was fined for refusing National service as a conscientious objector. Subsequently, he continued training at the Central School of Speech and Drama and worked in repertory theatre in Ireland and England.


Pinter's career as a playwright began with a production of The Room in 1957. His second play, The Birthday Party, closed after eight performances, but was enthusiastically reviewed by critic Harold Hobson. His early works were described by critics as "comedy of menace". Later plays such as No Man's Land (1975) and Betrayal (1978) became known as "memory plays". He appeared as an actor in productions of his own work on radio and film. He also undertook a number of roles in works by other writers. He directed nearly 50 productions for stage, theatre and screen. Pinter received over 50 awards, prizes, and other honours, including the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2005 and the French Légion d'honneur in 2007.
