David Hare the 64 year old UK playwright and director has been honored with the PEN/Pinter prize. The award established two years ago by the PEN writer’s organization in honor of the late Harold Pinter a Nobel prize recipient, is awarded annually to a UK writer of outstanding literary merit who casts an “unflinching, unswerving” gaze upon the world, and shows a “fierce intellectual determination … to define the real truth of our lives and our societies”. In keeping with the prize’s intent, Pinter’s widow in making the announcement stated, “In the course of his long, distinguished career, David Hare has never failed to speak out fearlessly on the subject of politics in the broadest sense; this courage, combined with his rich creative talent, makes him a worthy winner of the PEN/Pinter prize”.
