Comedy Renamed The Ambassador Theatre Group is to rename the Comedy Theatre the Harold Pinter Theatre. Howard Panter, ATG’s Joint Chief Executive and Creative Director, said, "The work of Pinter has become an integral part of the history of the Comedy theatre. The re-naming of one of our most successful West End theatres is a fitting tribute to a man who made such a mark on British theatre, who, over his 50-year career, became recognised as one of the most influential modern British dramatists." The thetare has hosted seven of Pinter's plays over the past two decades and he directed four productions there. The thetare will be renamed from the opening, on 13th October, of its next production, Ariel Dorfman's Death And The Maiden. Pinter’s widow, Lady Antonia Fraser, commented, "Harold would have been so pleased by this honour and I am very moved at the news."
