The great playwright Harold Pinter discusses his work in forthright terms with actor Harry Burton. With anecdotes about working with Ayckbourn, Gielgud and Richardson; his views on Iraq; a poetry reading; and his assertion that to tackle injustice, our job is 'to look for the truth and tell it'.
Curator Jamie Andrews introduces the Library's free new display The Golden Generation, which features audio, video, manuscripts and more from the vibrant postwar age of British theatre 1945-1968. The podcast includes fascinating interview snippets with some of the people working at that time, from the legendary to the unsung. Recorded on 8 September 2008
Neil Gaiman, author of the Sandman stories and many others, talks about his (unfilmed) treatment of Ramayana to Ravi Swami, animator, film maker and recent judge at the British Animation Awards. Recorded on 25 March 2008.
