The Birthday Party

by

Harold Pinter

Directed by Mary Pritchard

31st January - 7th February 2009

The Birthday Party is a study of domination that sows doubts, terrors, shuddering illuminations and terrifying apprehensions inside the four walls of a living-room in a seaside boarding-house where Stanley, the lodger, has taken refuge from some guilt, crime, treachery, in fact 'Some Thing', never named.

The baiting scene is resonant with the menace that Pinter achieves by striking a note somewhere out of our hearing and then letting us listen to the reverberation.
