The Birthday Party by Harold Pinter, is being performed at The Bear Pit, Rother Street on 16th-19th October.

In Harold Pinter’s The Birthday Party, outside forces encourage landlady Meg to host the eponymous celebration for her only boarder Stanley. However, the night soon becomes filled with menace when the threatening Goldberg and McCann arrive to crash the party and turn Stanley’s life into a living hell.

Tickets cost £14 (£13 concession) and they can be booked at secondthoughts.org.uk/bookings, 0333 666 3366, or on the door from one hour before the performance.
