*The Birthday Party* is about Stanley Webber, an erstwhile piano player in his 30s, who lives in a rundown boarding house, run by Meg and Petey Boles, in an English seaside town, "probably on the south coast, not too far from London "
Two sinister strangers, Goldberg and McCann, who arrive supposedly on his birthday and who appear to have come looking for him, turn Stanley's apparently innocuous birthday
party organized by Meg into a nightmare.
According to Pinter's official biographer, Michael Billington, *The Birthday Party* is "a deeply political play about the individual's imperative need for resistance,"yet, according to Billington, though he "doubts whether this was conscious on Pinter's part," it is also "a private, obsessive work about time past; about some vanished world, either real or idealised, into which all but one of the characters readily escapes. ...
From the very outset, the defining quality of a Pinter play is not so much fear and menace -- though they are undoubtedly present -- as a yearning for some lost Eden as a refuge from the uncertain, miasmic present" .
This play will go on tour and compete at the following Drama Festivals
New Ross Drama Festival Friday 9th March
