BOSTON, Mass. - January 25, 2008 - Harold Pinter won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2005, decades after the word "Pinteresque" entered the vocabulary.

Now, in Watertown, the New Repertory Theatre is staging two of his one-act productions, "The Lover" and "Ashes to Ashes."

Morning Edition critic-at-large Ed Siegel offers his take on the plays...and the playwright.

"A Pinter Duet: The Lover and Ashes to Ashes" continues Downstage at the New Repertory Theatre in Watertown through February 10. Critic-at-large Ed Siegel reviews theater and the arts for Morning Edition.
