INSCRIBED by Harold Pinter on the title page to Jacques Brunius: "To Jaques Brunius from Harold." Yes Pinter misspelled Jacques. Brunius 1906-1967 was a French actor and director. He also translated some of Pinter's plays into French including one of the plays in this book A Night Out. Thus a nice literary association. The book contains A Slight Ache A Night Out The Dwarfs as well as five revue sketches: Trouble in the Works The Black and White Request Stop Last to Go and Applicant. The title play here A Slight Ache is a dark comedy about an English couple Flora and Edward who interrogate a poor and silent match seller who stands outside their gate every day. The play was first performed on the BBC's Third Programme on July 29 1959 and starred Maurice Denham and Vivien Merchant Pinter's wife. The stage version opened on January 18 1961 at the Arts Theatre in London and starred Emlyn Williams Alison Leggat and Richard Briers. We find no other signed presentation copies of this book in the market. It's especially noteworthy because of Pinter's collaboration with the recipient Jacques Brunius.
