Summary/Abstract: Ireland has been a major influence on acting, poetic, playwriting and directing work of Harold Pinter. Pinter’s Irish connection was established in early nineteen-fifties when he joined Anew McMaster in order to tour the ‘Romantic Ireland’. It continued through his years’ long fruitful cooperation with Dublin theatres ending in the last performance of one of his plays seen by the author, No Man’s Land, staged in Dublin’s Gate, then transferred to London’s The Duke of York’s, and featuring Pinter’s favorite actor Michael Gambon. Pinter also established a long friendship and spiritual affinity with Edna O’Brien. His lifelong literary influences have been Irish authors W. B. Yeats, James Joyce and Samuel Beckett.
