Harry Burton & Harold Pinter

#036 - NO MANS LAND

Harold Pinter sometimes heard voices in his head. By listening intently to what the voices said, his plays took their form. One such play is NO MAN'S LAND: "I was in the back of a taxi, and a line came into my head, someone was pouring drink into a glass and asking another man: "As it is?" This line remained with, as did the second line: 'Yes absolutely, absolutely as it is.' In other words, neat Scotch. I got out of the taxi and got home and I went upstairs and started to write what followed...'
