Description: Shortlisted for the STR Theatre Book Prize 2023A LA Times Best Theater Book of 2022 Harold Pinter and Tom Stoppard, by most accounts the leading British playwrights of our time, might seem to come from very different aesthetic, cultural and political worlds. But as Carey Perloff's fascinating new book reveals, the two have much in common. By examining these contemporaries alongside one another and in the context of the rehearsal room, we can glean new insights and connections, including the impact of their Jewish background on their work and their passion for the details of stagecraft. Readers of Pinter and Stoppard: A Director's View will emerge with a set of tools for approaching their work in a performance environment and for unlocking the mysteries of the plays for audiences. Esteemed theatre director Carey Perloff draws upon her first-hand experience of working with both writers, creating case studies of particular plays in production to provide new ways of positioning the work today. 30 years after major criticism on both playwrights first emerged, this is a ripe moment for a fresh examination of the unique contribution of Pinter and Stoppard in the twenty-first century.

Review: This insightful, well-researched book about two top-tier British playwrights should be a must read for anyone interested in the craft and art of theater. Though subtitled "A Director's View," I recommend it to actors, playwrights, and designers as well. Ms. Perloff's decades-long working relationship with Stoppard and Pinter is evident on every page. She takes you into the room where it all happens.
