The Dresser: Ronald Harwood in Conversation with Richard Eyre
Richard Eyre and Ronald Harwood discuss Harwood's career as a writer of plays and screenplays including The Dresser, Taking Sides, Collaboration, Quartet, and The Pianist.
To coincide with Richard Eyre's television version of Ronald Harwood's play The Dresser, the two knights discuss Harwood's long and distinguished career as a writer of plays and screenplays. The conversation covers how Harwood's own experience as dresser to the great Shakespearean actor Sir Donald Wolfit inspired The Dresser, and takes in other highlights of Harwood's theatrical career, including Taking Sides and Collaboration, as well as films such as Quartet, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly and The Pianist, for which he won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2003.
