[Capdist-announce] Confetti Stage brings The Birthday Party, Harold Pinter’s Masterpiece of Suspense, to the Albany Masonic Hall!

[Confetti Stage]

Widely regarded as a masterpiece of comedy and menace, Harold Pinter's The
Birthday Party is a dark, genre-defying absurdity that will stick in your
mind long after the final curtain. Stanley Webber is a man with a
mysterious past who is lying low in an English boarding house by the sea.
Adored by his eccentric landlady, tolerated by her husband, and befriended
by a local young woman, he otherwise lives in a self-imposed exile. He
wishes desperately to be anywhere else, but ultimately has nowhere else to
go. It is here that his former life catches up to him in the form of two
sadistic figures named Goldberg and McCann. Not content to be subtle, they
convince the landlady to throw Stanley a birthday party, and use it as a
pretense to torture him with mind games. The subsequent action unfolds like
a fever dream, with a mysterious beginning that speeds ruthlessly to a
terrifying and ambiguous conclusion. Fans of David Lynch and Alfred
Hitchcock would do well not to miss this show! There will be a special Talk
Back Session for audience members to discuss the show with cast and crew
after the performance on Sunday, February 19th. (The Birthday Party
features: Kathleen Engelhardt, Stephen Henel, Vivian Hwang, Alex Jones,
Kasey Kenyon, John A. Nickles)
