Nobel Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter's 1957 play, The Birthday
Party, is set in a run-down boarding house in an English seaside town. Meg
and Petey Boles own the boarding house, which houses one guest, Stanley
Webber. Stanley, who has isolated himself from his mysterious past, is
about to see his world explode into a nightmare when two sinister
characters arrive on his birthday and turn a harmless birthday party into
frightening mental breakdown. The Birthday Party explores absurdist ideas
of existentialism in a meaningless human experience, and is a "compelling
take on this blink-of-an-eye we call life."
