Harold Pinter’s The Dreaming Child
Harold Pinter’s The Dreaming Child
The Dreaming Child, Harold Pinter's unproduced screenplay of Karen Blixen's intriguing short story of love and loss, is an eerie, enigmatic drama set in Bristol in 1868. Emily Carter, married to a wealthy man, is haunted by her first love, who died at sea. Unable to have children, she and her husband, Tom, adopt a young slum child - but Jack is no ordinary boy and seems to have an uncanny knowledge of his new home and family....
Renowned for his critically acclaimed plays, Harold Pinter also wrote many outstanding film scripts, including Accident, Betrayal and The Pumpkin Eater. The Dreaming Child was commissioned in 1997 by actress Julia Ormond, who wanted to produce and direct, but the project never got the green light - until now. Lydia Leonard stars as Emily, with Bertie Carvel as Tom, Rose Leslie as Peggy and Anne Reid as the narrator, who provides the 'establishing shots' - the stage directions and descriptions from the screenplay. Moving, mesmerising and mysterious, this remarkable production is a triumphant fulfilment of Pinter's great artistic vision.
