A Kind of Alaska and Ashes to Ashes
Harriet Walter stars in two plays by Harold Pinter, playing the roles of women dealing with profound loss of two different sorts.
Harriet Walter stars in two of Harold Pinter's later plays, each providing her with a challenging role she has never taken on before. In 'A Kind of Alaska', she is Deborah, who has lost the last 29 years to sleep; and in 'Ashes to Ashes', Rebecca is haunted by an altogether different kind of loss.
