The Birthday Party

The Birthday Party is Harold Pinter's second play. Initially confounding critics in the 1950s, the play explores the fluidity of time, place and identity and quickly became a celebrated modern classic.

Stanley Webber is visited in his boarding house by strangers, Goldberg and McCann. An innocent-seeming birthday party for Stanley turns into a nightmare.

The Birthday Party was first performed in 1958 and is now a modern classic, produced and studied throughout the world.
