Welcome to the Harold Pinter Society web pages

Born in the East End of London, England in 1930, playwright Harold Pinter has entertained, challenged and perturbed audiences since his first full-length play, The Birthday Party, was produced in London in 1958. In 2005, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.

The Harold Pinter Society is dedicated to studying, celebrating, and appraising the works of this prolific and frequently enigmatic writer. For almost twenty years, the society has published The Pinter Review - Collected Essays. As an Allied Organization of the Modern Language Association of America, the Harold Pinter Society organizes a business meeting, programs in which scholars present papers, and related social events at the MLA annual convention.

The board of the Harold Pinter Society is currently:

President
Ann C. Hall

Vice-President
Mark Taylor-Batty

Treasurer
Judith Roof

Standing call for papers: The Pinter Society hosts panels annually at the MLA and the MMLA conventions. Details of these will be posted in the Events page when they are confirmed. For details of how to submit articles to The Pinter Review please go to that page on the site.
