The Birthday Party is one of Pinter's most famous and loved plays, but this was not the case in 1957, with the debut run closing after 8 performances!

The play celebrated its 50th birthday in 2008. Now you can enjoy this controversial classic once more!

A British playwright and Nobel Prize winner, Pinter's career began in the 1950s and went on into the next century! A controversial figure, The Birthday Party was the second of the threatening plays that he became famous for.
