Harold Pinter's first full-length play, 'The Birthday Party' is a comedy of menace. Disquieting and oppressive, The Collingwood Woodplayers are excited to present Pinter's masterpiece in the round.
Woodplayers’ staging of Pinter’s first full-length play encloses the audience within a suffocating space where mundane routine slowly curdles into menace. As two strangers unexpectedly arrive and close in on the reclusive Stanley, the play’s fragmented dialogue and oppressive staging blur the line between social ritual and psychological interrogation. Set in a cramped boarding house, 'The Birthday Party' by Harold Pinter unfolds in the round.
