English playwright who achieved international success as one of the most complex post-World War II dramatist. Pinter's plays are noted for their use of breakdown of communication, understatement, cryptic small talk, and silence, to describe the thoughs of the characters.' Equally recognizable are the 'Pinteresque' themes - nameless menace, erotic fantasy, obsession and jealousy, family hatred and mental disturbance.
