Pinter

McKean has regularly graced the stage in recent decades, appearing in works by everyone from John Waters to Harold Pinter to William Shakespeare.

Andres Pinter, chief executive of Bullet EV Charging Solutions, a supplier to the charging network said that his team "woke up to a sharp kick in the pants this morning," Reuters reported.

Pressman answered in the affirmative, but before she did there was a pause as lengthy as any in a Harold Pinter play.

The best actor nominees include Andrew Scott for a one-man “Vanya” at the Duke of York’s Theater, and James Norton for his performance in “A Little Life” at the Harold Pinter Theater.

And the “catastrophe” of this not-to-be Pinter revival has yielded anecdotal treasure.
