Look at this nugget of information I dredged up about Pinter. From some website: "Harold Pinter's plays are noted for their use of silence to increase tension, understatement, and cryptic small talk. Equally recognizable are the "Pinteresque" themes - nameless menace, erotic fantasy, obsession and jealousy, family hatred and mental disturbance." I think I know what to write now, the dialogue the French people were playing around with has some elements already, albeit in embryonic form.
