Always great when a playwright wins. But I have to confess, Pinter's work has always left me unmoved. Typical straight guy sadism, emptiness, hollowness of life. Paved the way for idiots like McDonagh. Beckett's legacy deserved better.

what's straight about emptiness, hollowness of life?

mcdonagh isn't an idiot. nothing much like pinter either.he's a satirist looking for a target. when he finds one ('the lieutenant of inishmore') he's brilliant. when he doesn't, the plays are flashy but pointless -
