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