THE BIRTHDAY PARTY
by Harold Pinter

23rd to 25th April 2026

Broadbent Theatre, Wickenby

Pinter’s first full-length play, first performed in 1958, follows Stanley Webber, a reclusive pianist living in a rundown seaside boarding house, who becomes the victim of an oppressive interrogation by two sinister strangers, Goldberg and McCann.

As the play progresses, the mundane atmosphere devolves into a nightmarish assault on Stanley’s identity and sanity, culminating in his violent psychological breakdown during a chaotic party scene and his eventual removal by the men, leaving behind a world of paranoia, isolation and existential dread.
