The programme of The Homecoming at the Almeida Theatre, London quotes a letter from Noel Coward to Harold Pinter, dated 21 Aug 1965
"... I have just read The Homecoming twice through... It reads as well if not better than it plays. Your writing absolutely fascinates me. It is entirely unlike everyone else's. You cheerfully break every rule of the theatre that I was brought up to believe in, except the cardinal one of never being boring for a split-second. I love your choice of words, your resolute refusal to explain everything and the arrogant but triumphal demands you make on the audience...".
I knew Pintere liked Coward's work, I didn't know Coward admired, Pinter.
