Great (Living) Playwrights
Wed, 4 July 2001, 02:57 pmHello Everybody!
HereÂ’s an interesting question for you:
In its Hundred Year history the Nobel Prize for Literature has been awarded to many poets and novelists who also write plays (Gao Xinjian, Gunter Grass, Jean Paul Sartre, Patrick White, T.S. Eliot...) but it has only been very infrequently awarded to writers who could be considered PRIMARILY playwrights.
The most recent being Dario Fo in 1997, Wole Soyinka in 1986, Samuel Beckett in 1969... I think you get the point!
If this yearÂ’s Prize went to a playwright (not a novelist/playwright or a poet/playwright), who would it be?
Who among the world's living playwrights are worthy of winning The Nobel Prize for Literature?

Harold Pinter (if he hasn't won it already).
