| THE BIRTHDAY PARTY OPENS THURSDAY |
See The Birthday Party, written by Nobel Laureate Harold Pinter, who was acclaimed as "the most original, disturbing and arresting talent in London" when the play opened in 1958.
The play, directed by Dr. Eric Prince, opens this Thursday, and tells the story of Stanley, an unlikely hero and a strangely compelling victim, who is hidden away in seedy seaside digs somewhere on the southern coast of England. Indulged and mothered by his elderly landlady Meg, Stanley's comfortable retreat is forever changed with the arrival of two unexpected visitors, Goldberg and McCann. MORE INFO (PDF)
