| Description | Harriet Walter stars in two of Harold Pinter's later plays, each providing her with a challenging role she has never taken on before. In 'A Kind of Alaska', she is Deborah, who has lost the last 29 years to sleep; and in 'Ashes to Ashes', Rebecca is haunted by an altogether different kind of loss. A note on the script: the work here is a stage play that is being relayed on radio. We are unaware of any differences in dialogue between the broadcast text and the published text of the play. |
