“There’s a gentleman<br />
living here. He’s<br />
got a birthday today,<br />
and he’s forgotten all<br />
about it. So we’re<br />
going to remind him.<br />
We’re going to give him<br />
a party.”<br />
A shabby boarding house<br />
in a small English seaside<br />
town.<br />
An elderly couple take care<br />
of a solitary guest, who<br />
rarely ventures out. The arrival<br />
of two enigmatic strangers<br />
seems to offer a<br />
welcome distraction from their<br />
mundane existence. But when an impromptu, seemingly innocent birthday party abruptly<br />
turns in to a deadly game of cat and mouse, there are horrifying repercussions.<br />
By turns, cryptic thriller and macabre comedy, The Birthday Party was Harold Pinter’s first<br />
major work and is among the most unusual and absorbing of his plays.<br />
London Classic <strong>Theatre</strong> presents the first significant touring revival of the twenty-first<br />
century, promising to bring this ground-breaking classic to fresh and exhilarating life.<br />
Tuesday 24 & Wednesday 25 May nightly at 8pm<br />
Tickets: £15 and £11 concession
