@calabiyou Certainly Pinter. I have no idea if Beckett was. It's hard to tell from stories about a person, and near impossible to tell from their work. If one can't see why Pinter's recollection of "one time I had heartburn, oh, and I know Samuel Beckett!" is pretentious, than explaining it in such a limited medium would be futile anways. So why can agree with me or not, because one can't change any set minds through a comments section on youtube.
@AndyHocvs im not set mind on the subject, i think criticism is good. perhaps you think pinter is name dropping or dragging out a mundane story, but i dont know.
The person speaking in Samuel Beckett's work (if it is the person, more like that person's unconscious speaking to them) is in crisis; in fact, an unrelenting , torrent of deep crises. It's intimate and personal and revealing as if witnessing someone letting it all out. Or is it a mirror to my own unconscious!!!
I bet he's using a telepromter

I've been trying to find a copy of this since I heard it on the TV in 1990 - many thanks. It's brilliant.

Pinter gives a spellbinding performance of The Unnameable- Beckett lived in permanent fugitive status.
