Registration is open for the Pinter on Film, Television and Radio conference. This two-day international conference will take place at the University of Reading on Wednesday 19 September and the British Library on Thursday 20 September 2018. Day 1, ‘Pinter on Screen’, will focus on Pinter’s work on film and television and day 2, ‘Pinter on Air’, concentrates on Pinter’s radio drama, but there will be many, rich cross-currents across the two days. A sense of the programme can be gleaned here.

 

The registration fee (including lunch, refreshments and wine reception, but not accommodation) to attend on both days is £125 (or £75 for unwaged, students or part-time workers). It is possible to book for either day singly at a rate of £75 (or £45 for unwaged, students or part-time workers). Book your place at the conference here.

 

Accommodation is unavailable at the University of Reading for these dates. We recommend booking accommodation in central Reading since this will be most convenient for getting into London by train for day 2 of the conference. There is a good range of hotels available through the usual booking sites, including the Mercure George, Ibis and Premier Inn.

 

This conference is part of series of academic and public events organised by the inter-institutional research project ‘Harold Pinter: Histories and Legacies’, a collaboration between the universities of Birmingham, Leeds and Reading. The project is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and runs from 2017 to 2019.
