"As for Simon Gray [...] I admire him tremendously. I think he's a writer of incredible vividness and vigour and wit. I always have a whale of a time directing his plays."

Harold Pinter to Mel Gussow, Conversations with Harold Pinter, London: Nick Hern, 1994, p.55.

"Besides Gray1s writing, Harold Pinter's unemphatic directing and a remarkably consistent company supply a super-abundance of that unfashionable theatrical commodity, individual character."

Benedict Nightingale, The New Statesman, 23 February 1978.
