THE BIRTHDAY PARTY
by Harold Pinter

23rd to 25th April 2026

Broadbent Theatre, Wickenby

Pinter’s first full-length play, first performed in 1958, The Birthday Party is a key work of the Theatre of the Absurd. The action takes place in a rundown seaside boarding house, where the mundane existence of the residents is disrupted when two mysterious strangers arrive and torment the sole boarder during a sinister birthday party. 

Who are the two visitors, Goldberg and McCann? Where have they come from, and what do they want? Why are they interrogating Stanley Webber, and what secrets is Stanley hiding from his past?

This bewitching play, which has been described as a “comedy of menace”, raises as many questions as it answers.
