R.I.P Harold Pinter

Just a quick - and slightly late - post this holiday season, to pay tribute to Harold Pinter, who passed away on Christmas Eve. One of our very first Departure Lounge performances was the music for Mary Luckhurst's production of Pinter's Landscape in York, a powerful work which has stayed with us all, and which we often still recall. Pinter was an inspiration both in his writing and his political passion and commitment; a true icon of the Twentieth Century.


I would like to stand by the sea...
Harold Pinter - Landscape


On a slightly different note - to all of our readers and listeners, very best wishes for 2009, from all of us at Departure Lounge.
